The Complete Resource—Training, Conditioning, and
Competing in All Three Phases Phillip Dutton with Amber Heintzberger
Trafalgar Square Books is pleased to announce the publication of Modern Eventing with Phillip Dutton by Phillip Dutton with Amber Heintzberger. This fabulously illustrated book covers training, conditioning, and competing in all three phases of events: dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. In addition, Dutton includes full chapters describing the special needs of the event horse, with tips and advice from the top experts who make up his internationally respected eventing team—his groom, his farrier, and his veterinarian. You’ll find guidance in everything from daily maintenance to braiding and turnout, and from hoof care and studs to common health issues and “vet box” care of your horse during competitions.
With tips for finding the right event prospect, whatever your level of experience, as well as Dutton’s own schooling exercises, both on the flat and over fences, Modern Eventing with Phillip Dutton promises to give you the leg up you need for a safe and confident start in the sport.
