Preferred English Equestrian Magazine? Any book advice for studying hunter jumper conformation?

BOOKS: Hunt Seat Equitation by George H. Morris The American Jumping Style by George H. Morris (All books by-) William C. Steinkraus and Bertlan de' Nemethy Breaking Bad Habits in Horses by Jo Bird There are no problem horses, only problem riders by Mary Twelveponies Complete Horse Riding Manual by William Micklem(this was the first book I ever got-horse wise-and to this day I use it frequently, above all this is a must.) Also a Vet book is essential to any horse enthusiast! I have the one Equine Veterinary Medicine by Barb Crabb Also even though you are interested in Hunter/Jumper (I do Hunters) It is very important to learn all you can about Dressage(basic Dressage anyway, so you can improve your flat. You will only be in flight for half a second and the horse takes care fo that part. Its your job to set him up properly for that and that is during the flat work.That said I suggest-) MAGAZINES: Dressage Today Practical Horseman (Get a subscription to these!)Lol. WEBSITES: http://www.ushja.org http://www.usef.org http://www.equisearch.com (You will spend hours on this one!Lol.) If you want me to send you my fave articles(ones with the most useful information)I have them email me and I will send you their link! EMAIL: [email protected] Good Luck!

magazine: i get practical horseman, equus, horse illustrated, and young rider...they allllll help out alot, but if i HAD to chose one i would say practical horseman... books: i would go with any george morris book for hunters too... i ALMOST got to train with him, but i didnt have a horse at the time...*sigh*

I think Equus is the best overall horse magazine out there. It does not only cover English, or H/J, but focuses on the horse. Practical Horseman is also a good magazine, but I prefer Equus.

Practical Horseman has a section devoted to conformation in each issue...get the english version, since it has both western and english publications. Equus magazine is great, and covers a wide variety of subjects including the latest research and findings in the horse world. I recommend subscribing to both.

My favorite magazine for riding is "Practical Horsman" (although this month focuses on dressage. A great book on riding is "Hunter Seat Equitation" by George Morris. It's a classic.

Practical Horseman all its about is jumping and dressage
