The rider's aids are the be-all and end-all of riding. Without them, no understanding or communication with the horse is possible. The aids must be conveyed to the horse both clearly and distinctly, and yet unobtrusively: as fine aids. How to learn and employ these aids is dealt with in this concise guidebook in plain, easy to understand terms, amply supported by clear illustrations.
