BETTER JUMPING

Anyone into jumping - be it at novice grade or to the highest international level - wants to improve their performance. Carol Mailer, in her 230-page book, "Better Jumping", sets out in detail the strategies all jumpers, regardless of ability, can use to keep improving. Mailer says the way to better jumping is the use of grids, establishing the building blocks that will allow horse and rider to make step-by-step improvements. Her book is a blueprint, if you will, for the path to better jumping. It's very well illustrated and Mailer has made a point of keeping it simple. There is no room for confusion. She knows the path to improvement it's up to the rider to follow her strategies.
