Dressage Books

I have a few books which I read recently/am currently reading to show you.  As well as horses and dressage, I LOVE reading, so dressage books are ideal!  I took the photos on our iPad purely to save space on my camera's card.  I'm afraid you'll have to crick your necks - I couldn't get them to rotate!
 
First up is Reiner Klimke's Cavaletti.  I was told by so many people that this is basically a dressage rider's bible, but I thought we only had the German version.  Imagine my excitement when I found an English version on our bookshelf!  It's a very helpful guide to the various exercises and gymnastic jumping, and I'm hoping most of it will be transferable to poles.  I'm looking forward to trying to trying it out. 
 
 
 
This book, Dressage For The Young Rider by Peggoty Henriques.  I was a little dubious about reading this in the first place because it was written by the kind of instructor who I don't normally agree with, but I gave it a chance, and it's really good at explaining various movements.
