    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This short book examines the history, origins, and unintended consequences of the commonly used and widely accepted practice of "long and low" riding and training in dressage. International rider, trainer, writer, and teacher Paul Belasik explains the little-known origins of the mysterious practice that has evolved into a major modern-day controversy.


    Long and low riding has negative effects on the quality of dressage at the highest levels of the sport and widespread confusion for riders of all levels. This important book seeks to educate riders on why it is taught, where it came from, and how the unintended consequences have played out for riders all over the world. It is essential reading for all dressage riders, and any event riders and jumpers wishing to better understand the origins of long and low.



    ?So much of the material in this book is completely enthralling. I need to have it on my shelf so I can read, then re-read it.?


    Anne Wilson, author of Unity between Horse and Rider and classical riding teacher
