Hunter Seat Equitation by George H. Morris is a classic, authoritative guide on the principles of English-style riding, particularly focused on the hunter seat discipline. First published in 1971 and still widely respected today, this book is often referred to as the “bible” of equitation.
Morris, a legendary rider and coach, covers every aspect of rider position and technique, from flatwork to jumping. He explains the importance of correct basics—like balance, rhythm, and effective use of the aids—and how they translate into success in both training and competition. The book includes detailed instruction on rider position, tack, horse selection, and schooling exercises, as well as insight into horse shows and judging.
With clear explanations, line drawings, and photographic examples, Hunter Seat Equitation is a foundational resource for serious riders, trainers, and judges aiming to master or teach the art of classic, forward-seat riding.
