About This Book

A practical system for breaking and training horses and for obtaining a secure, balanced seat, organized as progressive exercises and principles. The text emphasizes preparatory work to produce suppleness and lightness, prescribing lateral and direct flexions, initially with the snaffle and later with the curb, and explains how the rider must concentrate and employ the horse's forces through subtle rein and leg aids. Chapters treat continuation of supplings, division of labor between rider and mount, and step-by-step application of methods, concluding with a succinct question-and-answer summary and illustrated instructions for achieving obedience, balance, and responsiveness.
