This classic manual, now completely revised and updated with new additional chapters, still remains the only single written source on how to judge hunter show competitions (under saddle classes, hunter classes over fences, conformation, and equitation on the flat and over fences). This new edition offers valuable explanations of what judges look for and the training methods necessary to accomplish the desired results.
"much needed and long overdue. Not only will this book fulfill a need as a judge's guide, it will also be used as a text by the teachers, trainers, and riders competing today." --George H. Morris
"This book is the most significant addition to the American horse-book scene in years. A comprehensive work, Judging Hunters and Hunter Seat Equitation takes the reader every step of the way to an understanding of exactly what hunter judges are (or should be) looking for in the show ring." --Horseman's Yankee Pedlar
This book covers the entire spectrum of hunter seat riding in great detail. Chapters include: Elements of Flatwork; Basic Flat Exercises; AHSA Tests 1-19 (Tips for Training and Showing); Basic Courses for Hunters and Equitation; Intermediate and Advanced Equitation Courses; Solving Typical Problems of Riders and Horses; and Showing. 230 pp with 250+ illustrations
"I loved the book. Anna Jane has done it again! Using her comprehensive knowledge of the subjects, she's covered all the bases with a constructive and practical method of educating the horse and motivating--even inspiring--the rider. An indispensable approach for anyone working to become proficient and masterful in horse sports." --Stephen O. Hawkins, Renowned Hunter and Hunter Seat Equitation Judge
"Anna Jane has succeeded in providing a `map' for total psychological preparation prior to competition. This is an essential area often ignored by trainers, but so important to each competitor in the hunter/jumper showcase. I only hope that each and every serious rider of this generation avails themselves of this comprehensive book." --Christina S. Schlusemeyer, Trainer of numerous Hunter and Hunter Seat Equitation national-title winners, including two winners of the ASPCA Maclay Finals
