DOUBLE CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

(From the Publisher) - Drawing on centuries of European practice, The Elements of Dressage will help any reader perfect the union between horse and rider. Dressage has been around since the time of the ancient Greeks, but reached its heights in Europe, and particularly in Germany. The German approach is now the preferred method in most countries, and the author has been teaching it for more than fifty years.

There are ten principal elements in the German method, and they include:

Relaxation

Regularity

Freedom

Contact

Straightness

Durchlassigkeit

Both beginning and advanced trainers and riders will learn why the ten elements exist, how to develop them in a horse, and even when not to use them. Starting with the basics, and moving on towards the most subtle aspects, The Elements of Dressage is the complete guide to the art of training and riding a horse.
