A humorous enumeration of the ten most important principles for every rider, regardless of riding style or philosophy. Presented by the horses and illustrated by the renowned artist Jean Abernethy. The authors met over twenty years ago during a horse seminar, which led to a wonderful friendship that has endured time and distance. The two regularly come together for various continuing education opportunities in the equestrian field. During a dressage clinic, they once again realized that, despite their extensive professional experience as trainers, they continually had to hear the same things they preach to their own students every day. Accompanied by much laughter and a good dose of self-irony, the idea for this book was born.
