Dressage School: A Sourcebook of Movements and Tips
English
By (author): Britta Schoeffmann Britta Schöffmann
In this fantastically detailed and uniquely organised reference, readers discover the what, the how, andmost importantlythe why of more than 100 dressage movements. Color photographs of riders of various levels and on different breeds of horse show how each movement should look when ridden correctly. Not only is each movement clearly defined, but explanations include common mistakes and how to avoid them, as well as the benefits of each exercise and how it contributes to the bigger picture of the dressage training scale.
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 horses 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. See more
