Schooling for Success With William Fox-Pitt
by William Fox-Pitt, Kate Green
With William Fox-Pitt at the top of the eventing game, having won at Burghley and Bramham already this season, there is no one better placed to offer advice to competitive riders. Full of colour photographs and montaged sequences taken through this year's eventing season, Schooling for Success with provide a clear and practical guide for anyone planning to tackle a one-day event with their horse. This book follows William's career from the early days of riding ponies with his brother and sister, the unknown horses that got him noticed through to his current string of top rides. William offers excellent and unique advice on how anyone keen on eventing can work with their horse to develop results on the big day. He starts with flatwork - by improving the basics at home, you can earn a few extra points in the dressage phase - often the more difficult discipline for event horses. Next showjumping - William explains how he works his own horses to ensure they are careful over light showjumps. Finally cross country - William offers his advice, hints and tips on how to tackle the many different jumps or combinations a one-day eventer might encounter. Throughout this book stunning montaged sequences of William jumping have been included to give the reader a real view of how he approaches, jumps, lands and gets away from a variety of fences. You can clearly see how the horses tackle each fence and how William's position differs depending on the type of obstacle.

Training the Cross Country Horse
by Kate Green, Andrew Nicholson
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.
