  There is more to successful showjumping than the right conformation: enthusiasm and the right temperament, in both the horse and rider, are just as important in creating a partnership which really works. Judith Draper shows how that parnership is produced, by selecting the right horse and following a thorough training programme. She explains: how the horse is taught to jump; basic schooling; the use of simple practice fences; how to ride a course; show procedure; and travelling with the horse. She also gives advice on equipment and clothing for horse and rider, and on caring for the horse both at home and away.
