Publisher Description: A revised edition of the inspiring bestseller, now in paperback with new good rider profiles This book is exactly what you need to become a better rider. It's a smart, honest, on-target kick-in-the-pants, guaranteed to rev your engines as you see how a few changes in your life, a few smart choices and strategic moves, can transform you from a run-of-the-mill rider into a good one. How does Denny Emerson know what makes a good rider? For one thing, he is one--he is the only rider in the world to have won both a gold medal in international eventing and a Tevis Cup buckle in endurance. Plus, he's been around great riders, and taught those on their way to becoming great, for over 40 years. How will what Denny knows help you become a good rider?
Along the way you'll read the stories of 23 of the world's top riders from different disciplines and sports--including dressage, reining, driving, show jumping, endurance, hunter/jumper, and eventing--and how they got good despite the same kinds of challenges and setbacks you face in your own day-to-day riding. You'll get an inside look at their path to success, as well as their very best tips for how to make it in the horse industry. |
