Jumping Problems Solved
Gridwork: The Secret to Success

CAROL MAILER

Any jumping problem can be vastly improved, if not solved, by the careful and methodical use of gridwork. A “grid” is a series of obstacles, generally built in a straight line and intended to be ridden as an entity, used to develop a horse's gymnastic athleticism. In this highly informative book, the author introduces the basic concepts of gridwork, describing how at its most elementary, it can help both the novice horse and rider gain confidence. Carol then provides specific exercises for common jumping problems at every level, including refusing, rushing, misjudging distances, and banging rails.

With individual sections devoted to sharpening the advanced horse for competition, improving jump–off technique, and facing especially tricky cross–country obstacles (such as those with angles and corners), this book is infinitely useful for horses and riders of all abilities and in all jumping disciplines.

CAROL MAILER has ridden horses since she was eight years old and trained under Davina Whiteman, one of the most respected authorities on showing in Great Britain. She has successfully competed, as well as trained horses and riders of all abilities for more than 30 years. Carol regularly contributes articles on jumping and gridwork to Your Horse magazine. She lives in England.
