Classical Training Demystified (Hardcover)

'I simply believe that we owe it to our horses to make them the best they can be, physically and mentally, in order to carry out what we require of them in comfort and safety. It is with this in mind, that I have developed the "user friendly" training system which I use in all my clinics around the world, a system based on classical principles - that is to say, using my interpretation of the original methods of the old masters - and the common sense and survival skills I learnt working with livestock on a day to day basis in the bush combined with the experiences I have shared with my students over the years.' "Classical Training Demystified" is a wonderfully practical and inspiring five-day riding clinic in book form. Marji Armstrong, an Australian trainer who was a pupil of both the late Nuno Oliveira and Franz Mairainger of the Spanish Riding School, has a large international client base and is a passionate and forthright champion of classical riding and training. Easy to follow and profusely illustrated with colour photographs, this is an essential book for all followers of the classical method.
