In-Hand: A Practical Guide to Preparing & Showing Your Horse
By K. J. FitzGerald

Beautiful as well as practical, this books offers a wealth of information for those considering or already involved in showing horses in-hand, both on the triangle and on the line.
Covering both sporthorse showing as well as hunter-type shows, In-Hand contains terrific "how-to" advice on the training and preparation of horses aimed for in-hand showing. Details on the specifics of show grooming and presentation for horse and handler are shared, including the wide range of braids that may be appropriate.

What to expect at the show is fully discussed; what the judges are looking for in the various types of in-hand showing is clearly explained, and the actual score sheets used in sporthorse in-hand classes are also included. The mechanics of showing on the triangle are described and illustrated.

Full color photos and clear line drawings enhance the text and make this book a 'must' for anyone involved in this rapidly growing segment of the competitive horse showing world.

Author K.J. FitzGerald is an award-winning photographer whose writing and photographs have appeared in such top equine publications as The Chronicle of the Horseand Horse Illustrated. She currently lives on the East Coast with her husband and two daughters and an assortment of animals including, of course, horses.
