For any rider seeking to build a truly harmonious partnership with their horse, Cavalletti: Schooling of Horse and Rider Over Ground Rails stands as the definitive guide to one of equestrian sport's most fundamental training methods. Written by the legendary German dressage Olympian Reiner Klimke and translated into English by Daphne Machin Goodall, this authoritative volume instructs riders of all disciplines in the systematic use of cavalletti — low, adjustable ground rails — to develop rhythm, balance, suppleness, and impulsion in both horse and rider. Klimke details progressive training exercises that begin at the walk and advance through trot and canter work, demonstrating how this deceptively simple apparatus can lay the groundwork for the highest levels of dressage, show jumping, and cross-country riding. Klimke writes with the precision and clarity of a master horseman, distilling decades of competitive and training experience into practical, methodical instruction that remains as relevant today as when it was first published. The book argues persuasively that cavalletti work is not merely a remedial tool but an essential cornerstone of correct equestrian education, capable of correcting crookedness, building muscle, and sharpening the horse's attention. A timeless classic in equestrian literature, it leaves the reader wondering just how much further their riding could progress with this elegant, time-tested technique.
