One of my all-time favorite exercise books, not so much for the exercises but rather for the way they are presented, described and organized. While most of the exercises in this book may be found elsewhere, Jec succeeds by not only explaining how the exercise is ridden but more importantly, why!

The Athletic Development of the Dressage Horse is the first book devoted entirely to classical manege exercises that are ridden to supple, strengthen and, when necessary, correct. Internationally known instructor, coach and judge Charles de Kunffy details a program of exercises that will enable horses at all levels of dressage and combined training to improve their performance as equine athletes. One of my favorite exercise books!
