This is a great reference book for all sorts of training issues or questions. Covering things in and out the the arena. It is always good to have now things to add to your tool box as a rider. This gave me lots of exercises to try with both of my horses and new ways to look at problems.

Overall a pretty helpful book, although someone without a bit of dressage background might have difficulty following some of the answers.
