The Riding Teacher - Hardcover Book
The Riding Teacher (Hardcover)
by Alois Podhajsky, Eva Podhajsky (Translator)
Colonel Alois Podhajsky, former Director of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna and the world’s foremost authority on classical equitation, provides complete step-by-step instructions on how to teach correct riding, from beginning stages through participation in competitions.
There are detailed programs for classes, both individual and group, and specific procedures for training the rider on a school horse or his own horse. The relationship between teacher and student, assessing capabilities of both horse and rider, spotting and correcting faults and bad habits, the choice and adjustment of saddles and bridles, cross country riding, jumping, preparation for competition, and the essentials of judging performances - all are set forth in a clear, precise, consecutively organized manner so that the book can be used as a quick reference as well as a basic guide.
Illustrated with photographs and diagrams, and containing a complete Index, this is a work that instructors, parents, and riders who are teaching themselves will find invaluable.
