Description
"This book appealed to me," says gold-medal-winning Olympian Isabell Werth. "Especially important is the emphasis on the meaning of the individual dressage movements within the overall context of a horse's training. Only the rider who understands why the movements are important and what their purposes are can build a dressage horse systematically. This applies to both the development of the horse's muscles and the development of his mind."
Throughout, emphasis is placed on the horse as an individual and how it is the rider's responsibility to learn to customise movements and lessons to benefit any horse, with his particular physical and psychological characteristics in mind. Practical and easy-to-follow, this valuable resource provides explanations in seconds that will last a lifetime of rides.
