Debbie McDonald Riding Through
-By Debbie McDonald with Nancy Jaffer

In her new book, Riding Through, Debbie describes her system for success in dressage and relates her life story: "There is more than one reason that I call this book Riding Through. Of course, first and foremost, riding through is a dressage term, something you strive for as you attempt to get your horse on the aids and moving back-to-front. You have achieved it when everything the two of you do together is one fluid motion, the ultimate of coordination and expression, in which the horse is maximizing his assets. It's all about harmony and correctness, summing up the meaning of dressage in a single short phrase. But "riding through" has other meanings for me as well. I've learned to ride through hard times, on and off a horse, when I thought about giving up. We all have to learn about riding through, because that's the only way we will arrive at our destination, whatever it may be."

Even if passage and piaffe aren't your ambition, or you don't want to compete in dressage at any level, the good basic riding skills involved in learning this discipline will help you in whatever you want to do with horses--whether it's improving adjustability for jumping or just having a more pleasurable trail ride. And the challenges will keep you interested while you explore the very special connection that develops between human and horse when you're doing meaningful work together.

The Simplicty of Dressage
-By Johann Hinnemann and Coby van Baalen

Johann Hinnemann, an internationally renowned dressage trainer and coach of the Dutch national team, and Coby van Baalen, one of the Netherland's top riders and silver medalist at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, have collaborated on this book to inspire those who love dressage. Why does the book refer to the simplicity of the sport when to many dressage seems so complicated? Coby van Baalen explains: "It's not because dressage is so simple to do, but because dressage is simple to explain. Regardless of which level one rides, the basics are always the same."

It's upon this premise that the book is built-aiming toward an end goal of complete suppleness and continual throughness of the aids.
