Using a totally fresh concept, the book looks into the precise detail of how to ride, starting from scratch. It analyses the rider's position at halt and in motion, in walk, trot and canter, and over jumps, and describes the aids for a variety of ridder exercises, including circles, turns, half-halts, leg-yield, half turn on the forehand and rein-back.
The instruction is so specific that in every exercise, the rider knows, even before he starts to ride the movement, exactly what he is supposed to be doing and how he should set about achieving it. Using feedback and mental rehearsal, he will also know how to repeate the movement successfully.
Learn to Ride Using Sports Psychology respresents a breakthrough in riding instruction and really does answer the questions that many riders and instructors have been asking themselves for years.
