Schooling the horse is not just about riding - many problems or misunderstandings between horse and rider can, and should be, sorted out on the ground before attempting to ride at all. This book explains how to school your horse from the ground, starting with fundamental techniques, and gives progressive exercises to work through. It explains the importance of stretching work, how to establish a correct outline, and how to build strength and suppleness. Remedial work is also included to improve crookedness, unbalance, and stiffness, for example. Also covered is the use of training aids where necessary, and schooling over ground poles and cavaletti, as well as jumping the horse on the lunge.
Observing your horse working without a rider gives you valuable insight as to the correctness of his paces, how his muscle development can be improved, and his general attitude and willingness. When your horse is moving beautifully on his own, there is no reason why he cannot do the same with you in the saddle.
Claire Lilley has been teaching classical dressage for many years. As a qualified BACP registered psychotherapist, she helps riders to gain a better understanding about themselves and their horses, both on the ground and in the saddle. Her experience of training and competing her own horses in dressage and show jumping to top level has led to several books published by J A Allen, and her own series of training DVDs. Details of her unique approach to equestrian coaching can be found at: https://www.clairelilley.com. For information on her psychotherapy practice go to https://www.wiltshire-wellbeing.co.uk.
