Dressage Solutions by Arthur Kottas-Heldenburg
Arthur Kottas-Heldenberg takes the reader through many stages of training, from ensuring that the basic paces are correct, through introducing the lateral exercises, developing the canter, rein-back, piaffe and passage, to a final chapter that explains some of the long-established movements of the High School.
This book is quite amazing! It is full of superb photographs and illustrations and is so obviously a product of a lifetime of experience and expertise, written and presented in such an easy-to-read way..Even if you don't compete in dressage competitions, there are many pages in this book which are relevant to just riding, showing or flatwork for jumping.
This book will be inspirational to all classicists and those aspiring to the art...The book is set out in a very clear, concise way. As the title suggests it deals with problems often encountered at most stages of training, in most cases giving a blueprint of how things should be; how they can go wrong; followed by solution.
Simple, clear, and unfussy, Dressage Solutions is the reference I'll be turning to for advice in tackling all those little (or not-so-little) training quandaries.
