Building Show Jumps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't say anything bad about this book. I bought several to build some jumps for my wife, anything to keep her happy. This book is very detailed if you are a detailed person. I have to admit that I bought "Jumps, etc." by Lisa Campbell and pretty much use that book the most check it out before you buy this one. Again I can't say anything bad about this book, it is very good, maybe too detailed for us simple guys.....

Successful Jumping: Training Your Horse with Gridwork Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am new to jumping horses, but a very experienced rider. My trainer introduced me to and loaned me her copy. I found it to be very helpful in teaching me excellent techniques to train the green horse (my interest is in field hunters and polo horses) and also to make me a better, more confident jumper. However, this is a reference work, even though small, and I need to return my trainer's copy to her. That I want to go purchase the book after I have read it tells you all you might need to know. Perhaps an experienced hunter/jumper might not need this book, but for the novice, I think it is excellent.

One of the most effective ways of developing a horse's natural aptitude for jumping is through using gridwork, a logical system of training that increases the horse's confidence, encourages the development of good musculature, and improves the horse's accuracy, agility, and technique. This book demystifies the method and explains in a way that will enable anyone to develop a safe and effective training program. There is practical instruction and advice on preparatory work, choosing equipment, building fences, calculating distances, and developing gridwork exercises; there is also an invaluable trouble-shooting chapter, which aims to identify the causes of any problems and suggests remedies.
