The official handbook on learning to ride and training the ridden horse. Essential for students taking British Horse Society examinations.

The BHS Complete Manual of Equitation replaces The BHS Manual of Equitation as the official handbook for all those learning to ride and/or train horses and also for teachers of riding. Whether amateur or professional, this book is a valuable addition to the horseman’s bookshelf. It is particularly helpful for students taking BHS examinations.

It is a compete, authoritative training manual for horse and rider both on the flat and over show jumps and cross-country fences, based on sound classical principles that have stood the test of time.

The authors, including new contributors Yogi Briesner, Judy Harvey, and Sabrina Jones, are all Fellows of The British Horse Society, and have pooled together their expertise to give clear step-by-step guidance. While much has been retained from the previous edition, new chapters have been added on The Historical Review, The Scales of Training, The Training of the Dressage Horse, Jump Training and Cross-country Riding. This new format has been coordinated by former BHS Chairman Patrick Print OBE FBHS. With this new material added to the sound information offered by the previous edition, this book gives an up-to-date and fresh insight into the art of equitation.
