Ride Horses with Awareness & Feel
by: Bartels, Joep & Bartels, Tineke
The New Dressage Training System from the Dutch Olympians at Academy
Bartels. The common belief that riding a horse can happen effortlessly
and naturally is dispelled in this training method from one of the world's
leading schools. The method teaches that riding is an activity that must
be learned by both horse and rider through a conscious awareness that
ultimately will become a subconscious ability, once the modern equestrian
gains a "feel" for riding. Not purely a technical endeavor,
a feel for riding is developed by learning to communicate with a flight
animal and a herd animal, developing self-knowledge and self-control,
developing body control, body language, and an independent seat, and learning
to give effective aids by training with "questions and answers."
Covering the important points that classical literature overlooks, such
as the being of the horse and rider psychology, this revolutionary methodology
will help a rider achieve awareness and feel in the saddle. Color phots.
