Ridden

"Utilizing a unique and original approach, this guide places riders in the horse's position, allowing them to experience the process of being ridden both physically and psychologically. The study expresses concern regarding modern training and its consequences for the horse, exploring alternative methods through classical schooling and modern competitive dressage from the horse's perspective. Drawing on the most recent scientific findings in psychomotor education, training theory, biomechanics, and equine behavior, this handbook offers precise courses of action for riders while identifying techniques that are more sensitive to horses."--Publisher's website.
