Description
The title says it all: “Course Design – Fascinatingly Logical“!
In many different ways and with illustrative examples, this book presents how a course must be designed to meet the modern demands of riders and horses.
Course layouts specifically drafted for this purpose and extensive picture material provide comprehensive advice on this topic.
The three authors dedicate a large portion of this book to the fundamental theoretical knowledge on the design and development of show-jumping courses. In doing so, the construction and design of the obstacles, as well as their effect, is examined. Individual obstacles are introduced, the execution of the obstacle, approach, tasks and their degree of difficulty are described.
In addition, valuable tips for self-organization, for material procurement, and for the practical set up and design is given to riders of all ages and aspiring course designers. The thoughts on the necessary psychological empathy of the course designer also make for an interesting read. After all, not only the organizer, but also the sponsors, riders, and the audience have to be kept happy and – as the highest priority – the horses‘ health must always be kept in mind
The second edition of "Course Design – Fascinatingly Logical" has been completely revised and text and images have been updated. Next to the “old” masters of riding Ludger Beerbaum and Marcus Ehning (both Germany), the book features the experience of female riders Luciana Diniz (Portugal) and Reed Kessler (USA).
A new chapter entitled “Thoughts on the Work of International Course Designers" focuses on the demands on a course designer, who has to respect and implement international rules and regulations. Course maps and pictures of international championships provide the finishing touches to this chapter.
