Book Reviews of Dressage in Harmony: From Basic to Grand Prix (The Masters of Horsemanship Series, Bk. 4)
Book Review: A must for the serious dressage rider!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought many dressage books by various authors, and this is by far my favorite book. I have a young horse that I have been training and this is the reference manual that I continually turn to. He teaches in the true classical sense where the welfare of the horse is most important. He explains in detail how the various exercises, such as shoulder-in, should be executed and what purpose they serve. He stresses the importance of timing of the aids which is essential in creating a soft, relaxed, properly muscled horse. I have attended clinics by him and he is a true master. If any of my friends show interest in learning dressage I buy them this book immediately. They all love it and find it very helpful and easy to understand. Yes, it does go over many basics, but more riders need a firmer grip on the basics before they can go on to compete and ride at the high levels successfully.

Summary of Dressage in Harmony: From Basic to Grand Prix (The Masters of Horsemanship Series, Bk. 4)
Maybe the best way to introduce this book to our audience is to quote Max Gahwyler when he read the book when it was in manuscript form: "You must publish this it is superb!" We agree this is, truly, one of, if not the clearest, most readable books on training dressage ever written. It's just delightful! Warm, sympathetic, and based on the solid foundations that lead to true success in the sport, this book is must reading! As Egon von Neindorf, a recognized master himself, says in the Foreword, "If you are not fortunate enough to be taught by Walter Zettl personally, he gives you in this book a very valuable guide to the art of classical riding. In clearly worked out and easy to understand chapters, he takes you through each step of the training stages, discusses problems that occur, and assists with competent, sensible corrections, from Beginner to becoming a Master. With Walter Zettl's guidance, it is made possible."Riding Books
