| His most thoughtful and thought-provoking book to
date. He considers the character of the equestrian and the individual rider's
responsibilities to classical horsemanship. and the academic equitation. He
explores non-confrontational principles of training and the true meaning of
"on the bit" and the engagement, and discusses the development of
the correct seat and the use of hands and reins.
|
An absorbing
biomechanical and philosophical treatise on riding and training dressage horses.
It explores the heritage and techniques of classical riding, and using modern findings,
debunks many commonly held dressage myths. Eagerly awaited by all readers of
'Riding towards the Light'.
|
Principally
aimed at dressage riders, but the advice contained in the book on how to adopt
and maintain a secure, balanced position will be invaluable to anyone
who is serious about riding. Charles de Kunffy
conveys his ideals
on classical riding in detail. Interesting and informative for riders at
all levels from one of America's leading dressage trainers/judges.
