Martin Diggle's main concern in writing this book is to ensure the introduction of novice riders to a safe and effective jumping technique. In his position of co-ordinator of tuition with the Greater London Council Riding Clubs, he has observed a disquieting proportion of riders who do not progress to the stage at which they have the confidence or ability to tackle even a small course of jumps with success. Thus, the purpose of this book is to encourage instructors to examine their own theories and practices, and to abandon any tendencies toward mystique, muddled thinking, erroneous or unsafe instruction.

Learning to ride is often associated exclusively with youth, yet in recent years many more people of mature years have elected to explore the particular delights of man's long established partnership with the horse. Until now, no book has addressed the specific problems and benefits of teaching the rider whose physical powers may be in decline, but whose mental facilities are often greatly superior to those of a younger pupil. The author has been involved with adult novices in the Riding Club movement, and has drawn on his experiences in order to write this book. Chapters cover the motivation and ambitions of the pupil, communication, considerations of background, character and temperament, physical limitations including informity, progression and further education. The final chapter advises the mature enthusiast on the purchase of a suitable horse. In assisting the instructor to understand, encourage and appreciate the mature rider, this book should not only improve the results of instruction, but also enhance the enjoyment of all concerned.

In this invaluable step-by-step guide to basic schooling, the authors acknowledge that not every horse is perfect and that when training it is important to take account of individual characteristics, both mental and physical, and to develop a programme that is both practical and achievable. The authors also stress that all riding is training and the horse cannot be expected to do what is required of him if he is given confused and contradictory signals. The onus is upon the rider to adopt the correct posture and apply the aids with care and accuracy at all times. To this end, Martin Diggle's intelligent and illuminating text together with Maggie Raynor's accurate and inspirational artwork will assist the reader to discover the best way to train his or her particular horse up to the requirements of basic dressage tests; the acknowledged route to any specialized discipline. Whether the aim is to compete, or simply to enhance the pleasures of recreational riding, this attractive book will both delight and inform anyone wishing to develop a successful relationship between horse and rider.
