Download or read book 55 Corrective Exercises for Horses written by Jec Aristotle Ballou and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly illustrated guide to simple yet effective methods for keeping horses sound, healthy, and performing their best. Over time, horses (like people) acquire postural habits, compensate for soreness and injury, and develop poor movement patterns. This limits performance ability, causes unsoundness and health issues, and ultimately undermines the horse's overall well–being. Jec Aristotle Ballou has made a name for herself advocating for the horse and providing sensible instruction in his schooling, conditioning, and care. Her bestselling books and popular clinics are designed to enable any horse person to correctly apply proven principles that bring measurable progress while avoiding boredom and confusion. In her latest collection of mounted and unmounted corrective exercises, Ballou demonstrates how we can actively work to improve the horse's posture and movement, whether he is: An active performance or pleasure mount. An aging or older horse that benefits from gentle exercise. A horse being rehabilitated following injury, illness, or lack of conditioning. Ballou's positive cross–training techniques are free of shortcuts, and her guidelines for analyzing the horse's posture and way of going help readers gain a new awareness of the equine body. Applicable for all disciplines and full of quality color photographs to explain the exercises, this is an integral collection that optimizes how the horse uses his body and helps ensure he stays sounder and healthier for more years of his life.
Download or read book When Two Spines Align Dressage Dynamics written by Beth Baumert and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2015-09-14 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within riding exists a fundamental conflict of interest: The rider needs to have control—her confidence depends on her ability to control the balance of her own body as well as that of her very powerful horse. The horse, by nature, needs to feel free—free in both mind and body to express himself through movement. In When Two Spines Align, author Beth Baumert, writer and editor at the equestrian magazine Dressage Today, resolves the freedom-control enigma by taking a close look at the individual components that make up riding and dressage and providing practical ways riders can learn to harness the balance, energies, and forces at play. Readers will discover how to use “positive tension” and their body’s “power lines” to become balanced and effective in the saddle. They will then find ways to understand and manage the horse's balance and “coordination challenges.” Ultimately, the rider learns to regulate and monitor the horse's rhythm, energy, flexion, alignment, bend, and line of travel by properly aligning her spine with his. When the center of gravity of a balanced rider is over the center of gravity of a balanced horse, that place where two spines align becomes the hub for rider and horse harmony.

Book excerpt: From the author of the #1 bestseller The Man Who Listens to Horses, a book for all of us seeking to strengthen our human relationships "Monty Roberts will make you marvel."—The New York Times Book Review In The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty Roberts revealed the depth of communication possible between human and horse. Touching the hearts of more than four million readers worldwide, that memoir—which spent more than a year at the top of The New York Times bestseller list—described his discovery of the "language" of horses and the dramatic effectiveness of removing violence from their training. Now, the world's most famous horse gentler demonstrates how his revolutionary Join-Up technique can be used not just for horses, but as a model for how to strengthen human relationships. With vivid, often deeply moving anecdotes, Roberts shows how the lessons learned from the thousands of horses he has known can provide effective guidelines for improving the quality of our communication with one another—from learning to "read" each other effectively, to creative fear-free environments, and, most importantly, teaching belief in the power of gentleness and trust.
Download or read book Ten of the Best Book 6 written by Sue Palmer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-30 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My old black mare lived out 24/7 with a younger gelding, who was continually pestering her, keeping her on the move around the field. He didn't ever get particularly close to her, but whatever vibes he was giving off meant that she spent quite a large part of each day walking around the field, with the occasional trot and sometimes even a sharp turn as she spun quickly in the opposite direction. I used to feel a bit sorry for her, until the gelding was on box rest for a week. The increase in her level of stiffness when she was in the field on her own was dramatic, and by the end of the week she was walking gingerly down the slope to meet me, rather than her usual enthusiastic trot. It was a great lesson in how keeping active, whilst sometimes seeming like hard work, is so important in the health of the older horse.
