1. This book is well organized and easy to manage. It contains information valuable to any horse owner. I liked having all my horse information in one place. It gives you enough space for 5 different equine friends!

1. This book is exactly what it says it is (how very German). It is a handbook that you can use on a daily basis to improve your dressage. In the front there are chapters on such things as a riders duty to the horse, the correct seat, tack and training facilities.
   
   There are then general tips on creating the foundations for dressage and training such as developing lateral bend or forward thrust and then the chapters begin on advanced dressage exercises such as pirouettes, schaukel or flying changes. Each are described in full, there are exercises to improve the quality of each, problems to avoid and special notes for the rider.
   
   An excellent book to have in your library. It's not a barrel of laughs to read but certainly gives you many many exercises to work through and many good tips for improving both your riding and your horse's way of going.

5 comments about The Agua Caliente Story: Remembering Mexico's Legendary Racetrack.

1. Highly readable and exhaustively researched book that thoroughly covers the history of racing in Tijuana. Includes fantastic photos and charts of the track's big races. The place had an even more interesting history than I had imagined, and the author's passion for his subject comes through loud and clear!



2. As a long timed resident of the city of Tijuana, I was excited to see a book on the Agua Caliente racetrack.I have had so many pleasant afternoons at this racetrack and this book brought back many wonderfull memories. I believe that no other racetrack has the the very interesting history that this track in Mexico ever had as researched and written by the author. The photos are great and the story rolls along in an easy to read manner. The author took on an interesting and important chapter in racing history and saved it for posterity. All 75 years of it. It is very sad that it is not in its glory years any more and I look forward that the new and enlightened administration will restore this historical site, one that was once vibrant and so alive.



3. For both lovers of horse racing and sports history, this is an exciting book, laced with rare illustrations and well-documented by both archival resources and the author's personal memories. Finally, Tijuana gets its due as the track which kept racing alive during its darkest travail in the 1920s and '30s as well as the one where innovations modernized the sport much as it is known today.

4. I heard about the Agua Caliente racetrack From Mr. Alessio when I meet him in 1993 at Ranch Tecate. After that, I saw him on a regular basis and once and a while he would reflect on the old racetrack. He told me about how he came up with the 5-10, the décor for the racetrack and some of the odd things that happened there. He even pointed out furniture at Ranch Tecate that came from the racetrack after the fire. But I never was able to put it all together till this book came out. The author did a excellent job putting this book together. I just wish I could have experienced the Caliente racetrack in its prime.



5. I actually bought this book because my late uncle Alfonso "Poncho" Munoz is featured in the book a few different times. My father also raced at Caliente so for obvious reasons I give this book 5 stars.

1. As someone new to the horse world, I found this book to be very insightful, taking nothing for granted, and explaining all the details on care, grooming and even riding tips. Illustrations and photos were also nice. Very readable, very concise. Being written by a college professor was also helpful compared to others that I have read.



2. This book could be considered a "maunal" for someone wanting to learn to ride Saddle Seat correctly, in its true art form. This book also covers many aspects of being a good horseman and the skills it passes are all generally applicable to all horses and styles of riding. This book is one of only 4 books that I highly recommend to my students.

4. Having ridden with Gayle Lampe and shown in front of her before, I found this book to be full of useful information. I am a riding instructor and wish that all my students would read this book. Full of photos, this book is an excellent read for beginners and experts alike. This is a "must buy" for anyone in the horse world, not just saddleseat riders.
