100 Übungen für Westernreiter 1

Terms such as permeability, suppleness, leg control, bend, and position are familiar to the modern Western rider and instructor. The exercises in this book, which have proven effective in Hubertus Ott's long-standing practice as a trainer, are organized in ascending order of difficulty, allowing for methodical training. The goal is a systematic education of both rider and horse, which not only leads to corresponding performances in competitive sports but also promises more enjoyable rides for trail riders. The exercises are clearly and understandably explained with the help of graphics, enabling everyone to design their training sessions in a varied manner. In addition to fundamental exercises for rideability (transitions, figures on the track, gymnastic work, etc.), the book also includes general horsemanship and trail tasks, as well as horsemanship and trail tasks for the Bronze Western riding badge.
