<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published in two volumes: Cross-train your horse and More cross-training in 1998"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It's a simple, riddle-free system of training that places a high priority on the horse's physical and mental well-being. Beginning with the three golden rules of dressage training--clarity, consistency, and kindness--Jane Savoie walks you through her four stages of dressage education.</p> <p>Stage One is an introductory course in the basics, and Stage Two covers the nuts and bolts of training, including transitions, school figures, and movements.</p> <p>By the time you finish Stage Two, you'll have a happy, responsive horse that understands going forward and being straight; accepts contact so you can communicate with him through the reins; moves in a regular rhythm and a steady tempo in all three gaits; and can do transitions, circles, and turns, back up, lengthen his stride, and go sideways.</p> <p>In Stage Three, Jane translates the secrets surrounding the half-halt, enabling you to put your horse on the bit, and adding a whole new dimension to your training. You'll even be ready for some fancy stuff in Stage Four.</p> <p>Don't worry, everything in this book is well within the capacity of most horses. We're simply talking about the work required in the United States Equestrian Federation's (USEF) dressage tests up to Third Level, which concludes with collected, medium, and extended gaits; advanced lateral movements; and flying changes.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book explains to dressage newcomers the theories behind the sport and the basics to strive for.
