Riassunto

The only book dedicated to learning to find and ride the ideal jumping distance with fundamental skills and enlightening lessons from one of the best in the business.

• Detailed setup for specific exercises.
• Connecting flatwork for between ground poles or jumps, such as transitions and serpentines.
