  William Fox-Pitt is at the top of the eventing game, with recent wins at Badminton (2004), Burghley (2005), a team silver medal at the Athens Olympics and a place on the squad for the 2006 World Equestrian Games. Featuring full-colour photographs and montaged sequences taken at some of the world's top horse trials, Schooling for Success provides a clear and practical guide for anyone planning to tackle a one-day event, whether for the first time, or competing at a higher level. William Fox-Pitt offers advice on how to work with your horse to develop results in competition. He starts with flatwork - by improving the basics at home, you can earn a few extra points in the dressage arena. He then explains how he works his own horses to ensure they are careful over showjumps. Finally he offers advice, hints and tips on how to tackle a wide variety of obstacles and combinations, from ditches to steps on a cross country course.
