Maybe the best way to introduce this book is to quote Max Gahwyler when he read the book when it was in manuscript form: 'You must publish this, it is superb!' It is, truly, one of, if not the clearest, most readable books on training dressage ever written. It's just delightful! As Egon von Neindorf, a recognized master himself, says in the Foreword, 'If you are not fortunate enough to be taught by Walter Zettl personally, he gives you in this book a very valuable guide to the art of classical riding. In clearly worked out and easy to understand chapters, he takes you through each step of the training stages, discusses problems that occur, and assists with competent, sensible corrections, from Beginner to becoming a Master. With Walter Zettl's guidance, it is made possible.' Highly regarded in Europe, Walter Zettl was trained in Germany under Colonel Aust. He came to Canada in 1981 where he was trainer for Eva Maria Pracht. He also served as dressage coach for the Canadian Three-Day team for the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Illustrated
