Breed Show Hunters Under Saddle From Start to Finish- Book
Written by well-known trainer and AQHA, APHA & NSBA Judge, Melissa Sexton. Show Hunters Under Saddle is a comprehensive guide to training and showing horses in this discipline. It takes the reader from assessing the potential of a young horse's conformation and movement, to training and exhibiting the animal in terms of what constitutes a ribbon-winning performance. The book also addresses the differences between these show hunters and those of the "English" hunter world, as well as such training considerations as reschooling an older horse and techniques to deal with the strong Thoroughbred influence in many of today's breed show horses.
Throughout the book, the author stresses the importance of giving horses a solid foundation that will benefit them not only in the Hunter Under Saddle division but elsewhere in the show arena, and as otherwise responsive and educated mounts.
Whether you ride a horse that shows exclusively in the Hunter Under Saddle division or one that also takes part in Western classes, this book will teach you everything you need to know to get to the winner's circle.
