Publisher's Synopsis
Martin Diggle's main concern in writing this book is to ensure the introduction of novice riders to a safe and effective jumping technique. In his position of co-ordinator of tuition with the Greater London Council Riding Clubs, he has observed a disquieting proportion of riders who do not progress to the stage at which they have the confidence or ability to tackle even a small course of jumps with success.;Thus, the purpose of this book is to encourage instructors to examine their own theories and practices, and to abandon any tendencies toward mystique, muddled thinking, erroneous or unsafe instruction.
