"In-hand" training has long been used to help develop the dressage horse, conditioning and suppling his body while at the same time preparing his mind to grasp the movements that may eventually be expected.</p> <p>Roida relies on these techniques when working with young horses, which she prepares for under-saddle training with exercises first learned on the ground, improving balance and enhancing confidence by refining the horse's sense of his body and where it is in space. Roida also uses in-hand techniques to vary the training of the fully schooled riding horse and to solve problems that may be more safely dealt with from the ground. In this book she details her methods, sharing the stories of a number of horses of different ages, breeds, and training backgrounds, and demonstrating the steps to teaching them: </p> <ul> <li>shoulder-in</li> <li>travers</li> <li>renvers</li> <li>pirouettes</li> <li>half-pass</li> <li>piaffe & passage</li> <li>canter work</li> <li>the Spanish walk</li> </ul> <p>Throughout her conscientious attention to what is best for the horse ensures that not only do the lessons result in a horse that is healthy in body but also one that is healthy in mind and happy in his work.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"What I loved best were the 'Osteopath's Perspective' sidebars scattered throughout the book; these add a layer of depth not often seen in training books by explaining how these exercises improve horses by building muscle and strength." --<b>Horse Nation</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Kathrin Roida</strong> runs a horse training facility in Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany.
