The German National Equestrian Federation, located in Warendorf, is one of the largest national equestrian federations in the world. Foundations were laid in 1905 as an assocation of breeders and riders with the goal to promote German bred horses. It now covers sports, breeding and personal members.
The Principles of Riding is easy to read and very well laid out
with clear concise instructions with bullet points and also
includes tips on what can go wrong which is very helpful. Clear
illustrations really help drive home the salient points of the text
making it easy to understand. This book is not just aimed at the
novice rider, there is plenty here to interest experienced rider
too. Anyone interested in riding will find this a mine of useful
information which readers can devour in its whole or dip into at
will when questions or problems arise.

'First published more than 50 years ago, it's now on an incredible
28th edition but has seen some changes along the way... Some of the
more modern scientific research is now being incorporated in what
has always been a complete manual of horsemanship covering rider,
horse, training of both, lungeing, jumping, tack and teaching young
horses.' Wendy Parsons, Essex Rider
