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?
- Hardcover – 192 pages
