5 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece!   February 12, 2010
Linda Rose Schaap (Northern California)

Jec Ballou has written a Masterpiece work which is a cummulation of her studies, experience, equine knowledge, and love and respect for this wonderful animal. This book is a must for anyone, from beginner to experienced level, and will assist greatly in achieving a balanced, healthy horse who enjoys his/her work, and will enjoy years of soundness and athletic performance that can only come from a proper foundation. I found that the way she has written the book, the application of her program can be implemented at any stage, whether you are just starting a youngster, want to purify the movements of your horse, or keep your senior companion sound and willing. The pull out cards that you can take with you while working are great, too. I want to buy a second one just to save for my library.

This book is very important and I always want to know about: how the horses use his body and how the muscles work. Equine Fitness gave me the answers.

This book is very well written easy to understand and the cut-out cards at the back of the book make it easy to take them into the barn instead of the entire book. Highly recommend this book for anyone interested in new routines and exercises for their horse.


5 out of 5 stars Another good book from Jec Ballou   February 26, 2010

Equine Fitness is as good as 101 Dressage Exercises, the other book by Ballou. The exercises in both books are easy to understand and apply to many situations. Ballou's step-by-step program for introducing a horse to a fitness regime is well thought out, and I plan to use it as I rehab my CWB mare, Juno, when she finally recovers from a year-long lameness episode which was due to a shoulder injury.
