Author Bio
Julie Brega' interest in eventing led her to work with competition horses and, having gained her BHSII, she set up her own equestrian business and trained many students for BHS examinations. Seeing the need for a structured system of study, she began to run correspondence courses in equine studies and from this developed The Open college of Equestrian Studies which has since established a reputation for providing tuition of the highest quality to students worldwide. For those interested in examinations, this book takes the student to BHS Stage IV and in many areas this level is exceeded.
