TheHorseStudio.com review: Hunt seat medal winners have been made in the hundreds if not thousands by this one master, George Morris. Without making a huge fanfare over his incredible successes as chef d'equipe all the way through multiple Olympic gold medal team wins, Nations Cups and many more, it is plain to see from this Science of Riding DVD that George Morris has always had a very clear cut methodology that works. Every aspect is keenly covered here and the groundwork for a serious beginning to the world of hunter jumping is identified.

The personal interviews with noted riders showcase the respect and the lessons learned by some of the elite of the sport. The aspects of groom and stable manager as part of the support system are also included which is a sensible and often overlooked essential part of the equation. Given that George won all the major competitions by age 14 including ASPCA Maclay and Hunter Seat Medal finals, it's not so surprising that he has identified all the key points for success. His remarkable talent that he shares here provide express ways to perfect practice. Highly recommended.

Specifically in this DVD you are treated to three half hour segments or lessons. In the first part you will discover the basics of selecting a trainer, the correct attitude of the rider, proper attire and mounting In the second part George Morris outlines the use of the aids and position of the rider. He takes you through walk, trot and canter. Also more extended flatwork including bending, shoulder in, haunches in, schooling ring movements, simple changes and flying changes. Pace and control is covered using cavalletti. In the third segment you are introduced to basic jumping along with basic jumping faults so you can be sure to avoid them.
