“Long Reining is so much fun that it is easy to get
hooked on it. It trains the rider's eyes and tact by
adding a visual impression to the sense of touch and vice versa.”
Dr. Thomas Ritter

explains the correct aids from the beginning through Haute École in practical terms. Thanks to the discussion of frequent mistakes and their corrections, long reining novices and experienced trainers alike can find much new information here.
