Horsemanship

		Price:	QTY:
The Classical Rider by Sylvia Loch On the lunge, without stirrups and with just a blanket and voltige roller, Henry made Lucinda close her eyes so that she could concentrate and imagine Xariel's hind legs moving underneath her with such clarity that she could correctly call left, right or right, left, as the horse trotted round obediently and in perfect rhythm. Henry taught her literally to feel through the seat of her pants. As the muscles of the horse's back and loins rose and rounded to accomodate the upward thurst of the engaged hind leg, he urged: 'Feel the sideways movement as well as the forward. Feel how he lifts first your right seat bone up and forward, and then your left up and forward as he brings each hind leg under. Be careful to keep your seat open and your hips loose so you go with it! The horse will move you if you sit quiet and let it happen....never collapse or tilt at the waist and never try to make it happen by moving yourself. It is the horse who is doing the work, not you. Remember always to remain tall and proud in your upper body for this gives balance to the horse!' HB, Colour + B&W Photos + Illustrated, 337 pages.
