1. Gymnastic Patterns with Leslie Webb Volume 1. TheHorseStudio.com review of how to time your half halt, bend the horse's jaw and encourage good rhythm and regularity.

TheHorseStudio.com review: A good workout for you and your horse as Leslie Webb takes you through seven patterns in this volume that you can use in the dressage ring as exercises to help you develop your horse in the correct bend with a supple jaw. She encourages you with advice on how to train the prompt move off from leg aids and seat aids and how to establish the basis for a good rhythm in all gaits. Leslie uses herself and her student to demonstrate all the exercises and draws your attention to the common faults and details how to avoid them. The rider's position and the most effective use of the half halt is expressed and advice on how to develop your horse to work evenly on both reins. This is a neat assembly of the facts required for good basics in flat work and the rider will have a clear format for workouts at home to lay a solid foundation for more advanced work.

NTSC North America/Canada format; Duration Approx 45 minutes. Leslie Webb is a former Pan American team member and achieved an individual silver medal.

3. The Right Track: Arena Exercises for Riders and Instructors. From Australian Sarah Venamore: Super compilation and lots of fun.

TheHorseStudio.com review: Lots of fun for everyone here. Whether you ride alone or are a trainer that coaches a class of multiple riders and horses at once, this book is a super addictive 'game plan' with many neat exercises to help the rider and horse improve their collections and lengthenings, halts and rein-backs and enjoy the process by creating original patterns from beginner to advanced.

Transition work, riding in groups requiring accuracy and rhythm, helps fine tune the communication between rider and horse. The difficulty level is clearly illustrated and the instructions are step by step. Certainly this will revitalize even the most jaded rider with their flatwork. Warm up and cool down exercises are included too, and the book is in a handy spiral binding to ensure practical access while ringside.

Recommended for the Pony Clubbers and 4H riders, plus any quadrille team practices at intercollegiate level. There's even a one hour lesson plan to make the trainers life easier. Where I grew up riding in quadrille was required, and the lessons were always serious but also always fun. The horses seem to enjoy it as much as the riders, or maybe that's cause and effect!

Softcover. 190pp 2007 release in the USA
