The riding badges start with the nature of the horse and the effects this has on handling the horse and riding. This is followed by a comprehensive chapter on riding theory across all riding badges - starting with the equipment of rider and horse and preparation for riding, through the development of seat, aids, influence and riding the basic gaits to the centrepiece of classical riding theory: the scale of training. Basic exercises in dressage riding, jumping and cross-country riding and their importance for the well-being and health of the horse round off the first part of this book. The second part contains all the relevant information on the respective riding badges. It explains in detail what requirements the rider can expect in practical riding in dressage, jumping and cross-country in each riding badge from No. 5-1. The various station tests are outlined and presented in an understandable and comprehensible way with possible tasks and explanations of the content. The dedicated instructor in the club or company who is responsible for organising the course and the test will also find many helpful tips in this official textbook. In order to make the content clearer and more practical, this standard work from FNverlag has been completely revised and provided with many photos.
