“Peter Dove has done a great job in explaining the geometry of the movements, and the problems that people commonly experience when riding them. Understanding the reasons for doing them, and how they fit and flow together is a great help in both riding a test that will score well, and within day to day training.”

“This book is a fantastic concept for riders from grass roots, to those advancing up the levels. We all need some guidance and a plan to work to both short term and long term, to achieve our goals, and this book gives that support and logic to really encourage a thinking rider. It will be a well used book in anyones tool kit.”

“What the book provided for me was a clarity and structure in my thinking about preparation for competition, both for myself and my clients. It also gave me a new way of viewing the purpose of the competition, which may take some of the stress away from competitions themselves (currently I don’t get out often). For less experienced riders, I believe it will provide a great foundational structure. It will guide them on the best path forward. Even if there are some elements they don’t yet understand or have feeling for, it will bring to their awareness things they might be thinking about and noticing, and in due course giving them valuable AhHa moments. I wish I’d had this book as a reference point when doing my Pony Club tests and BHS stages.”

Having read it cover to cover in an afternoon I can now go back and read the specific sections when I’m struggling. I can see plenty of use in the book even for a rider who can only ride at the local school
It is rare indeed to find a dressage book that cuts through the jargon and explains things in a completely understandable and enjoyable way.
As a prelim rider wanting to improve my scores, this book is perfect.
Thank you Peter, a great b
