Collecting and lengthening the gait changes of lead and lateral work in canter will be subjects for books 3 & 4 of the series.

Author Notes: A rider with many years experience, Martin Diggle has achieved success in all of the major competitive disciplines. He maintains an involvement in the training of both horses and riders and he is the author of seven books on riding. An editor by profession, he has worked with a number of contemporary equestrian authorities, and has been fascinated by how often they acknowledge the influence of past Masters, and how often such acknowledgment echoes down through the generations. He has also discovered that, while methods of riding and training may alter according to individuals and circumstances, and while debates may rage around certain points and personalities, there is, at the very least, a considerable consensus regarding principles. He has therefore compiled this series first, to give the thinking rider ready access to the methods of the Masters and second, to help prevent training errors that fly in the face of the basic principles.

Further Title Description: The Masters of Equitation series gathers together, under individual subject headings, many of the key thoughts of eminent equestrians from past centuries down to the present day. The series does not seek to promote any one school or philosophy over others, but simply provides a ready source of reference to the idea of many acknowledged Masters. The reader is invited to research, compare and contrast and may find special significance in areas of obvious consensus.
