Training the Cross Country Horse

A refreshing approach to the art of cross country riding with New Zealander Andrew Nicholson, one of the world's most talented and experienced eventers. Every dedicated horse trials spectator has experienced that extraordinary feeling of deja vu when watching the cross country phase of the competition, as Andrew flashes past again and again on a selection of different horses! His stickability, stamina and knack for getting in tune with a huge variety of horses are legendary, and many of his best results are thanks to his consistent ability to complete the cross country phase clear and within the time allowed. In his typically down-to-earth manner he reveals how he starts his young horse across country. He describes his ideal sort of horse and how he gets them fit for the job. Kit Houghton's lavish action photographs show Andrew tackling the full range of cross country obstacles, and are accompanied by clear colour diagrams with Andrew's descriptions as to what is going right (or wrong!) in each case.
