description: From Olympic and double world champion Blyth Tait, this wonderful book is essential for those occasions when things do not go exactly to plan! In question and answer format, Blyth identifies specific difficulties and offers solutions based on tried and tested methods from his own unique training system. He provides key training exercises designed to improve the horse's athleticism, confidence and all-round performance. He explains how to overcome horse problems such as refusing, rushing, running out, jumping hollow, drifting, carelessness and others. He also gives practical advice on how riders can improve their own position and sharpen their skills, and looks at how to deal with some of the dilemmas they face at competitions. And he describes how to tackle every kind of fence found on cross-country courses today. Beautiful (and exciting!) photos help clarify the text, along with line drawings throughout. A wonderfully practical problem-solving tool for anyone who rides over cross-country fences! *Required reading for USEA's Instructor Certification Progam, Level I, II, III, IV. 160 pp. 7.5" x 10" Photos and drawings 1999
