Riding High

Colonel Sir Mike Ansell's complete guide to show jumping, following his now famous autobiography SOLDIER ON, is also a unique book, one which his vast experience has exceptionally qualified him to write,

Here in one volume, with meticulously prepared illustrations and diagrams, are clearly explained all the principles of choosing and training the horse for show jumping; and of planning a horse show whether large or small, indoors or out-of-doors, down to the subtle details. The leading riders of the show jumping world are discussed and there is a remarkable range of photographs of them in action The book deals also with designing a course and gives precise particulars for building the obstacles and the other fea tures. Lastly, and significant of of Colonel Sir Mike's conviction that the public must enjoy the show for it to be a success, there is an amusing and brilliantly informative dialogue on the subject of the rules.

RIDING HIGH is splendidly readable, at the same time it is rich in facts and stimulating in its precision.
