In competitive horsemanship, New Zealand riders have achieved worldwide fame -- and few have shown mote skill and determination than Andrew Nicholson. A master trainer and event champion, Nicholson knows all the secrets of breaking in a horse, preparing it for the contest, soaring over gates, and riding to victory. Hundreds of voluminously captioned photos, with routines completely broken down, reveal what he looks for in a horse; how he schools each horse for cross-country; and which strategies work for jumping single fences, combinations, and water. A section on horse management covers everything from feeding to equipment to injuries.
