"Aspirational in an inviting way, and Hess's advice is straightforward, easy to understand, and of course, classically correct."-- USDF Connection, "What I like about this book is it is a real problem-solver... a very good book for specific issues. Two thumbs up." --Dressage Radio Show, " Ride Better With Christoph Hess deserves to be a bookshelf reference for every barn, regardless of discipline-after all, we all want to ride better!"-- HorseNation.com, Christoph's book is delivered wholly around his classical development training principles. It's thoughtful, easy-to-apply advice and a collection of his best riding and training tips. The most common challenges for riders of all levels (that he has encountered) are also addressed -- the regular, most frequent ones such as leaning on the bit, falling out, lack of straightness, as well as 'Top at home, flop at show' -- a horsey 'problem' that crops up regularly at all levels and one of the reasons riders ask him for help., Ride Better with Christoph Hess, is a new book, out now, which is full of helpful tips and pieces of advice for riders and their horses whether they are interested in dressage, eventing or showjumping. Christoph (pictured top) is an FEI I judge in both dressage and eventing and is highly respected around the world as a trainer too, adhering to classical principles. Here he picks out problems and sticking points he finds most common when training horse and rider and shares his advice in a very easy-to-follow manner. No matter what level you are riding to, this book is a must-read. Throughout Hess emphasises that a rider must always strive to improve, for the simple reason that they can always do better for their horse., "Ride Better With Christoph Hess deserves to be a bookshelf reference for every barn, regardless of discipline-after all, we all want to ride better!"--HorseNation.com "Straightforward, easy to understand, and of course, classically correct." --U.S. Dressage Federation Connection "Hess's tops and solutions are invaluable to equestrians of every level.
