Coaching the Rider: Theory and Practice

Rating:
Summary: A text book for the serious riding instructor
Review: Coaching The Rider is written from the English/Dressage/Eventing angle of Horsemanship. It is equally relevant to the instructor of Western Horsemanship diciplines. The book's intented audience is the actively teaching riding instructor. The author uses her extensive background to cover lessons plans, teaching theory, competition and special teaching situations. She is clear and concise. Sample lessons and lesson plans as well as sample conversations with students are included. My only criticism is that, like any textbook, is that it is dry. Plan to read it in stages and practice the skills as you progress in the book.
