2 out of 5 stars Fab content - awful typeface...   July 11, 2008
Gosh - this should be a definite 5 stars for content, but why the awful typeface? The person responsible for that should be made to read this - ouch!

Aside from the headache inducing, very *very* annoying type, the book is exquisitely funny and very accurate (in my personal experience anyhow)

Love the content, hate the print.

This is brilliant! I howled, envisaging myself and the obliging Dougal (my 16.2, somewhat unaware of his dressage superbity thoroughbred!!!!!!) doing a 'far more lucid' transition from canter to trot....
Brian McKeown has dressage down to a T... or maybe a coffee... I can't try this without one!
I read this book on a trip from Scotland to Cumbria, crying with laughter all the way, reading out passages to my somewhat disinterested husband, and howling at his lack of response...
BUY IT!
I've written to the author, so amused was I!
No hints on dressage training, but a good re-grounding about the frivolity of it all!
Happy half pass!

A fabulously funny book on, what must be accepted, a fairly unknown sport. Though not claiming to know nuch about dressage, I was hugely entertained by this wry look at this sport's world through the eyes of a husband, looking for the bright side of mucking out! A book for dressage fans, dog fans and well, husbands. I highly recommend it :)
