The USDF Guide to Dressage
by Jennifer O. Bryant

352 pages, 9 x 10 trim size, full-color photographs and illustrations throughout.
Dressage is a sport of precision and harmony whose participants aspire to meet a rigorous standard of perfection. The classical ballet of horsemanship, dressage is a graceful dance between horse and rider that demands flawless communication, coordination, and timing. Myriad details, when done well, and seamlessly combined, appear effortless and make the horse look his most beautiful.

Beginning with a detailed history of classical horsemanship, Bryant explains the origins of dressage; necessary dressage attire, tack, and equipment; and how to best approach training. She guides you in locating a qualified instructor, then explains what to expect in your first lesson, the importance of the training scale, and the subtleties of the three basic gaits. She also provides a solid overview of basic dressage movements and useful lessons that will help you and your horse learn as a team.

Whatever your primary equestrian discipline, dressage is an ideal way for you to increase your self-awareness and to enhance your relationship with your horse. It can be a rewarding lifelong journey. Enjoy every minute!
