Basic Training of the Young Horse by Reiner Klimke Book Description: In this fundamental yet precise and detailed guide to the correct schooling of the horse, the legendary dressage rider and trainer Dr. Reiner Klimke addresses an array of horsemanship issues, from handling the foal and backing the young horse to flatwork, jumping, and cross-country riding, as well as saddlery and general equine health and fitness.  In a clear, easily understandable style, Klimke bases his advice on the proven methods which he himself learned and then applied over the course of his 25-year career schooling young horses and competing to victories at the highest levels of equestrian competition. A wide range of topics are discussed, including:  * free schooling * principles of flatwork * development of impulsion * problem solving * forward and lateral aids * work over ground poles * training horses with temperament and conformation problems * And more!  The essential guide for all riders, trainers, and breeders who want to school their young horses correctly from the very beginning, BASIC TRAINING OF THE YOUNG HORSE is an education in the sound, practical, and theoretical knowledge of an unquestionable authority in the field.  Reiner Klimke was one of the world's most versatile and successful riders and trainers. Olympic gold medallist, World Dressage Champion, and European Horse Trials Champion were just a few of his achievements. How did Reiner Klimke achieve so much? How did he pick his horses? How did he train them? What was his philosophy? These questions and more are answered in this book, a worldwide best seller, which has sold over 30,000 copies in this first English language edition translated by Sigrid Young and edited by Jane Kidd. Every aspect of the education of a young horse is covered in this book including: education of the foal; lungeing and backing; loose schooling; principles of flatwork; development of the gaits; problem solving; forward and lateral aids; training horses with temperament and conformation faults; the development of 'Schwung'; work over ground poles; jumping; and fitness training plans.
