Introduction

What is the definition of an advanced rider? More than at any other level, the advanced rider possesses a broad spectrum of skills at various stages of development. There are many levels of advancement. Of course, someone who has reached the dizzying heights of Olympic competition is an advanced rider, but a person who has learned the fundamentals of riding and gone on to own a horse of his or her own also can be an advanced rider. For me, the beginning advanced rider is someone who grasps the idea of good horsemanship and puts a great deal of time and effort into developing his or her seat and position. This book will help you develop those skills, and it is my hope that it will also help give you the skills to move on to the next step of your riding career, whatever the final level may be.
