The usual daily stress of modern living means adults, and very often even adolescents, adopt tensed-up and faulty postures, which have a particularly negative effect on the horse. Here is a modern riding manual with a completely new training concept specifically designed to counteract the problem:<br/>* A perfect loosening-up programme, with relaxes and eases.<br/>* Complex rider’s movements are separated into individual movements for ease of practice.<br/>* These swinging circles can be practised in day-to-day situations as well on the physio-ball – the substitute horse.<br/>Erika Prockl is a teacher in further education and a certified riding instructor. Not having learned to ride as a child but as an adult, she has personally experienced the suffering of the adult novice rider, and learned from it. This “swinging“ training programme was developed in co-operation with Eva Sogl, a well-known high-level dressage instructor, and has been applied successfully for several years.<br/>This book should be required reading for every riding instructor and adult novice rider.
