This is such a good book. It didn't take a huge amount of time to read, but it is definately one I will be keeping for further reference. It covers everything, from how horses tackle different fences to designing courses for various abilities, from decorating individual fences to dealing with difficult judges. There are also exercises at the back of the book, designed to teach horses how to jump better - invaluable stuff that I can use with my young horse. I learnt a great deal from this...even though I consider myself an experienced jumper/course builder. I would recommend this to anyone who is thinking of riding over jumps at a show or having a go at building their own course.

Very creative! Small print, but very informative. I built small jumps with this.
