OK, as someone who took learning to ride seriously, her book is on my bibliography data base, tho I didnt buy it and dont remember reading it. May be because I was a new rider, no on on NR ever pressed me to read it.
Her daughter and grandson always figured in Horse and Hound. So always very well known, week in week out.
But what I would like is perhaps this evening if someone who benefitted from her teaching has time is a summary of what made so much difference to people here when they read her book. As I might be able to do for a trainer who has influenced me.
I never went to Talland. But I went to another dressage school and my very last lesson there after my previous instructor left, was a young man who had just spent a year or two training at Talland.
One cant judge a school by one of its ex-students but I found him dictatorial and innapropriate. Just because Talland had such a reputation - I was used to RIs who discussed pros and cons and adapted cues and riding to a particular horse.
