Dressage School by Britta SchÃ-ffmann

Dressage School by Britta SchÃ-ffmann gives new meaning to boring training exercises as it pieces together the larger picture of dressage from the foundations all the way up to advanced training.  

Dressage School is A Sourcebook of Movements and Tips Demonstrated by Olympian Isabell Werth

Now you can join one of the finest riders of modern dressage competition, Olympian and multiple-time German, European, and World Champion Isabell Werth, as she helps demonstrate the what, how, and most importantly why of dozens of dressage movements, exercises, and school figures on several of her famous horses. You'll find out how each movement should look, get an idea of the common mistakes made by horses and riders and how to avoid them, and learn about the various benefits each exercise offers at various stages of training.

In addition, you'll see how the simplest of school figures ultimately contribute to progression through the dressage Training Pyramid. Armed with this knowledge, your regular daily training program and the most mundane schooling sessions will take on new relevance as you come to understand how each piece fits into the larger picture, the optimal gymnasticization of the horse in order to keep him sound, healthy, and happy in his work.
