When it comes to producing top three-day event horses, Ginny Leng and her back-up team have the finest record in the world. In this book, Britain's leading event rider explains the training methods that gained her the world championship and three European titles. These were won on three different horses, all introduced to novice eventing and taken up through the grades by Ginny. Advice on finding the right horse is followed by a step-by-step guide to its education - from the first lungeing lessons, backing and early ridden work, through to the ultimate test of a championship three-day event. Other works by Virginia Leng and Genevieve Murphy include "Ginny - An Autobiography" and "Ginny and Her Horses".
