The Horse in Positive Tension -Stammer
Harnessing Equine Kinetic Energy for Top Performance – An illustrated study of the biomechanics of horse-and-rider movement like no other.
Everything you know about riding and the horse’s movement isn’t what you think it is! Did you know that:
- On a functional level, traditional ways of teaching rider position and horse movement do not actually work with the biomechanical system that is horse and rider?
- Use of the inside rein does not encourage the horse to bend to the inside?
- Training exercises and lessons that claim to be simple cannot be as easily applied as it might seem?

When Two Spines Align
When Two Spines Align $69.95When Two Spines Align Dressage Dynamics by Beth Baumert Hardback
Within riding exists a fundamental conflict of interest: The rider needs to have control— confidence depends on ability to control the balance of own body as well as that of a very powerful horse. The horse, by nature, needs to feel free—free in both mind and body to express himself through physical movement.
Readers will discover how to use “positive tension” and what the author calls the four physical “Powerlines”—Vertical, Connecting, Spiraling, and Visual—to become balanced and effective in the saddle. Readers will then find ways to understand and manage the horse’s balance and coordination challenges, including the fact that he is inherently crooked and naturally inclined to do too much with his front end and not enough with his hind.
