Overview
A unique look at what it takes to reach the top of what many consider the highest expression of horse training -- competitive Dressage!
Description
Dressage Dreams 10 is all about the ultimate achievement in the Dressage arena--the, rarely obtained, perfect score of 10. Meet the riders and their unforgettable equine partners who have acheived the highest scores possible in the most demanding of all the Dressage tests--the Grand Prix. Stephen Clarke, internationally acclaimed and respected FEI judge, explains each Grand Prix movement in detail through the use of breathtaking illustrations. The world's top riders and their trainers give their personal views and reveal their secrets on how they and their horse prepare for competition with the aim of obtaining the perfect score.

The best Dressage ponies in the world are also included. (Dornik B, Dulcia, Deinhard B and Konrad) Discover how the youngest paricipants on the ladder to FEI success and their amazing ponies fulfill their dreams as Stephen Clarke analyses some of the FEI Pony Dressage movements.

The book is divided into chapters, one for each of the Grand Prix movements. A top International rider and their talented mount demonstrate each movement using breathtaking photography from some of the best names in the business. The author gives his technical account 'from the judge's box' of what he looks for to give a score of excellence. Rider and trainer then give their personal account of what inspired them to take up this sport, their training techniques and their most memorable test allowing the reader to get behind the Top Hats and Tails and into the mind of the competitor and their trainer. A closer look at the equine partner including its pedigree, competition record and daily routine concludes the chapter. The common denominator which runs through each chapter is the strong bond between horse, rider and trainer; a bond developed over time through endless kindness, patience, understanding and good training practices.

Never before has a book contained so much advice and inside information about International Dressage.
