A general but detailed survey of the whole field of producing, breeding, managing and generally developing competition horses in the major sports, jumping eventing, competition carriage driving, dressage, endurance riding and harness racing. Showing, polo and point-to-point racing are also mentioned. Current thinking and practices are presented, theories put forward and practical suggestions set out in all relevant areas, with a view to bringing together and stimulating concerted policy and action in the whole milieu of the competition horse. It is hoped that some of the more basic practical information given will be helpful to those new to the field, particularly in the areas of selection and marketing. Important practical chapters include such topics as conformation, action and temperament, basic genetics and heredity, environmental considerations, selection, management and marketing. In conclusion the book presents a "plan for the future" detailing a workable, nationally operable scheme for producing world-beating competition horses. This book is intended for competitors, breeders, and students.
