A superb instructional manual for schooling jumpers and riders, featuring 30 step-by-step gridwork exercises.Any jumping problem can be vastly improved—if not solved—by the methodical use of gridwork. A "grid" is a series of obstacles used to develop a horse's gymnastic athleticism. In this book, the author introduces the basic concepts of gridwork, describing how it can help both the novice horse and rider gain confidence. Mailer then provides specific exercises for common jumping problems at every level, such as refusing or rushing fences and missing distances. With sections devoted to sharpening the advanced horse for competition, improving jump-off technique, and facing tricky cross-country obstacles, this book is infinitely useful for horses and riders of all abilities and in all jumping disciplines.

Cavalletti: Revised Edition: Schooling of Horse and Rider over Ground Poles Review

I'm not a brave jumper and this book has really encouraged me to incorporate more ground poles and cavalletti into my regular training regime.
My main interest is dressage but my enthusiasm for trying more pole and jumping work has been set alight by this book. They cover everything from the most basic information like boots for your horse, distances for different gaits and even how to adjust side reins correctly, right through to patterns and techniques to keep things interesting.
The language used is simple, conversational and incredibly useful. Each topic - lunging, straight work over poles, gymnastic jumping etc - is addressed in detail with troubleshooting solutions provided for common problems. There are sample work schedules and cavalletti patterns for most objectives. This is a true working book that will be valuable to all levels of rider.
