Jumping Patterns for Horse and Rider

Jumping a horse is a skill far more complex than simply steering toward an obstacle and hanging on. Jumping Patterns for Horse and Rider includes a series of jumping exercises designed to start a novice horse correctly, increase confidence and athleticism, troubleshoot common bad habits, and make jumping more fun for everyone! Simple pictures show readers common types of jumps, how to measure strides, and how to create the exercises described in the book. Exercises include "For the horse" and "For the rider" sections to teach riders how each exercise benefits your riding skill and performance in different ways.
