This book makes clear that a rider who maintains the structure of the training system will understand that one basic skill alone is weak without the others. Elegantly illustrated with beautiful photographs, The Simplicity of Dressage offers riders and trainers at every level a clearly stated method of attaining higher test scores and more advanced movements.
