Cavalletti

by Reiner Klimke

This revised and updated version of Reiner Klimke's classic book on cavalletti work now has an extended section on gymnastic jumping by the author's daughter, Ingrid Klimke. First published more than 30 years ago, the original information on schooling horses over cavalletti is still valid today but the book also encompasses the changing face and requirements of the modern sport horse.

This might be an oldie, but it's a goodie - all still relevant and the exercises described can easily be adapted. It's a shame that Cavaletti themselves have fallen out of favour - raised poles just don't have the same sturdiness and I miss the set we had when I was a child. Maybe they deserve a comeback!

Since Reiner and Ingrid Klimke are my big equestrian heros, I just love their books. Whenever I'm stuck, they know how to help me.

In easy steps, this book show's great ways to school your horse and yourself in walk, trot and canter, while riding and lunging with a lot fun and variety. Because often, the small things make the big difference.

FANTASTIC book for anyone looking to expand their techniques for schooling a horse in and out of the saddle.
