  This instructional book provides a practical schedule for training a young horse of normal physique over a period of 24 months by a rider of average ability and purpose. The intention is to reach medium dressage (including flying changes) - the test of the all-purpose riding horse. For more ambitious riders, the training scheme provides a basis from which they can progress into any specified sphere. But no outstanding talent is necessary on the part of horse or rider in order to complete the first two years of training. The scheme - divided into three-monthly periods for easy reference - is applicable to any horse whether it is destined for hunting, hacking, school riding or dressage competition. Anthony Crossley is the author of Advanced Dressage .
