Book Guide Fédéral Galop® 1

French Equestrian FederationEvery year, 100,000 riders take their Galop®1, which is the first level of the federal riding diplomas. The official Federal Guide Galop®1 from the French Equestrian Federation supports them in this first year of riding. It shows through drawings and photos how to acquire the knowledge and skills that make one a rider. • General knowledge provides answers to the most common questions about riding in France, clubs, and the Federation. • Knowing the horse explains how the horse lives and reacts, what its needs are, and how to approach it safely. • Taking care of the horse describes the best practices of an accomplished horseman or horsewoman. • Groundwork teaches how to move with the horse safely. • Riding practice summarises the lessons from the experiences gained during the sessions. The Guide concludes with review questionnaires that allow for self-assessment and practice for passing and succeeding in the Galop®1. THIS GUIDE IS THE ONLY OFFICIAL WORK OF THE FFE IN LINE WITH THE NEW PROGRAMS. The sections on Safety, Zoom, Key points to remember, and the MCQs make memorisation easier, along with the sections for further information and equestrian culture.
