Heather Moffett also seeks to educate the rider to realise just how bad riding affects the horse's ability to perform, often preventing him from carrying out the rider's wishes, for which he is then punished. The book carries an important message of the absolute necessity to learn to ride, WITH, not AGAINST your horse, if a true partnership is to be forged.
From the Publisher
The revised edition of Enlightened Equitation is unique in the way that photographs have been used, often in sequence, to show riding problems, and how Heather Moffett corrects them, thereby illustrating the text in a very visual way, enhancing understanding for the reader.
In the chapter on lateral work alone, there are nearly 100 photographs. More and more riders wish to progress to higher levels of dressage, but are often stumped by lack of clear instruction needed to correct the frequent problems experienced. Enlightened Equitation shows the rider all of the problems, but also, how to correct them.
This book is eminently suited to all riders, even beginners, or novices wishing to improve their seat and refine their aids, yet equally suited to experienced riders with long established faults, or simply wishing to progress to higher levels of dressage training.
"Covering everything from the Classical position, how to synchronise the rider's movement precisely with that of the horse, learn refinement of the aids - aids which work with the biomechanics of the horse, but are simple to understand and apply; learning 'feel', that mystical quality that is often thought to be the prerogative of only those with exceptional talent; understanding schooling terms, and much more, this book will demystify riding in an easy to read, conversational, and often humorous style."
Foreword is by ex British Horse Society chairman, Patrick Print OBE FBHS.
