[RC] Reading Recommendations - Aaron & Crysta TurnageI'm looking to
expand my Endurance-related home library. I already have a couple books
that are aimed towards the endurance rider and would like recommendations from
others on what books they have found invaluable in their training. Here
are the books I currently have:
Endurance:
Start to Finish by Marcy Pavord
The Complete Guide
to Endurance Riding and Competition by Donna Snyder-Smith
Ten Feet Tall,
Still by Julie Suhr (a MUST read for EVERY rider!!!)
Endurance Riding
from Beginning to Winning by Lew Hollander
Other related books
include:
Centered Riding by
Sally Swift
101 Arena Exercises
by Cherry Hill
What I'm really
looking for in particular is a book that discusses in DETAIL a conditioning
program. The ones I have now seem to touch on the subject but don't go
into the depth I'm looking for. Things like recommended regimines, I
realize each horse is an individual, but would like a general plan to aim
for/start from.
I would like to get
Nancy Loving's book "Going the Distance" but would like some reviews
first. I've also heard that a book called "Conditioning the Sport Horse"
by Hilary Clayton may be what I'm looking for. I thought this would be a
good topic for the list so feel free to post to ridecamp or email me direct and
I will post a complete list in a week or so. Please include WHY you like
the book you are referring, not just the title.
Thanks!
Crysta Turnage
