Jessie Shiers has been riding and caring for horses for fifteen years. The author of 101 Horsekeeping Tips, she lives in Middletown, Connecticut, with her husband, Jason, and her horse, George.
Balance, rhythm, pace, and straightness are the keys to every great hunter/jumper ride, whether on the flat or over fences. 101 Hunter/Jumper Tips offers suggestions for achieving these goals, as well as solutions to basic and more advanced schooling problems. Inside, you'll find techniques from successful riders and trainers that will improve everything from your horse's saddle fit to your own position and mental approach.
With sections on tack and equipment, training, preparation for showing, and competition itself, this is a reference guide that no hunter/jumper rider or trainer should miss.
