These Manuals are unique in their design. Whether an experienced horse/rider partnership or working at novice level, using them together with the Progress Sheets (see downloads), enables a reader to build a fully structured, progressive training programme.
- All pages are laminated making them weather resistant. They can be removed from the A4 ringbinder and taken outside for
easy reference. If a page is left out in the rain or dropped to the ground, it will simply wipe clean! The file itself can also be
- left outside as it is made of polypropylene.

- Each set of exercises includes:
an introduction
