Download or read book A Gymnastic Riding System Using Mind Body Spirit written by Betsy Steiner and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multifaceted training system for riders and horses of all levels. Most books discuss the physical aspects of riding: horse position, rider position, use of aids, schooling exercises, and movements. Betsy Steiner, however, an international rider and trainer, believes that the physical is just one-third of the riding equation, and that two equally important vital components—the intellectual and the psychological—are often ignored. Her approach to riding and training is to use the body, mind, and spirit, all working together to create a rich experience she call gymnastic training that addresses horse and rider as the three-dimensional beings that they are. This training system is geared toward maintaining proper form and alignment—crucial for human and equine athletes alike. Progress is achieved by use of inventive gymnastic schooling exercises for the horse, and a tailored program of Pilates exercises enabling the rider to become athletic, lithe, energetic, and flexible.

Download or read book The Gymnast written by Patrick J. Bird and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-09-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gymnast might have been an “everyman” memoir: Patrick grew up hard and fast in the New York of the 1950s and ’60s. He found a sport and then a career he was passionate about. Found love, raised a family. Except The Gymnast isn’t any old coming-of-age tale. Patrick contracted polio, and one of his legs atrophied because of it. He became the boy with the “repulsive leg,” as he called it, and for a long time, he didn’t believe he’d have a normal life. With grit and dedication (and lots of luck), Patrick forged the life he wanted. He successfully competed on Big Ten and NCAA championship gymnastics teams and coached the sport at the collegiate level. He earned a PhD with an emphasis in exercise science. After a turbulent romance, he married his childhood sweetheart, and they raised three children. Humorous and sad, heartwarming as much as it is heart-wrenching, The Gymnast follows a unique thread that weaves together disability, sport, and romance. Few stories talk about disabled people dealing with sex, romance, bullying, and competing successfully at the highest level of sport. Patrick may have grown up different, but his compelling story will resonate with every reader.
