Phillip Dutton Has LOTS to Celebrate: A Successful Weekend at the Spring Virginia Horse Trials and the Release of His New Book!

Phillip Dutton and the Dutton Eventing Team had a terrific Memorial Day Weekend at the Spring Virginia Horse Trials in Lexington, Virginia—congratulations to all!

And of course we are thrilled to announce that MODERN EVENTING WITH PHILLIP DUTTON, the new book by Phillip and his cowriter/photographer Amber Heintzberger, is now available! You can download a free sample chapter and order your copy from the TSB online bookstore when you CLICK HERE.

“Our goal as event riders is to excel at all three phases,” says Phillip. “This requires a lot of training and knowledge, but successfully completing an event at any level can be a very rewarding challenge. I hope to help give you the tools to meet these challenges and have fun in the process!”

Phillip stole a few minutes off a horse to personally announce his book! Check it out:

What they’re saying about MODERN EVENTING WITH PHILLIP DUTTON:

Equine Affaire a Big Success–And Signings with Anne Kursinski, Jim Wofford, and Denny Emerson a Lot of Fun!

Well, the TSB staff is back at work after four days at Equine Affaire in West Springfield, Massachusetts. As usual, the event proved a terrific opportunity to speak one-on-one with customers about the books we have now, and the books we should have in the future. One of our goals is to provide the riding and horse-loving public the information they most need and crave.

We also got to watch some great clinics and learn a little something, to boot. As equestrian book publishers and editors, it is good to keep our eyes, ears, and mind open to the new ideas and techniques that horsemen and women are bringing to light all around the world—these ideas and techniques are fluid and ever-changing. The industry is not one to stagnate, and it is important to us that we don’t, either.

For those of you that came by the TSB booth this past weekend, don’t forget to use the show-special coupon on the front of our catalog for great discounts (and just in time for the holidays) on our website www.HorseandRiderBooks.com.

If you couldn’t make it to EA Massachusetts this year, here’s a little glimpse of the fun we had with our featured authors in the TSB booth. Hope to see you (and meet you!) in 2012!
