<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally translated in 2009 with the subtitle: A sourcebook of movements and tips demonstrated by Olympian Isabell Werth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A fantastically detailed and uniquely organized dressage reference for the rider.</b> <p>Discover the what, the how, and-most importantly-the <i>why</i> of more than 100 dressage movements. <ul> <li>Color photographs of riders of various levels and on different breeds of horse show how each movement should look when ridden correctly. </li> <li>Each movement is clearly defined.</li> <li>Explanations include common mistakes and how to avoid them.</li> <li>Readers find out the benefits of each exercise and how it contributes to the "bigger picture" of the dressage training scale.</li> </ul> <p>"This book appealed to me," says gold-medal-winning Olympian Isabell Werth. "Especially important is the emphasis on the meaning of the individual dressage movements within the overall context of a horse's training. Only the rider who understands why the movements are important and what their purposes are can build a dressage horse systematically. This applies to both the development of the horse's muscles and the development of his mind."</p> <p>Throughout, emphasis is placed on the horse as an individual and how it is the rider's responsibility to learn to customize movements and lessons to benefit any horse, with his particular physical and psychological characteristics in mind. Practical and easy-to-follow, this valuable resource provides explanations in seconds that will last a lifetime of rides.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This is a great reference book for all levels. If you have a question on a movement, you'll find tips on how to ride it, common mistakes, the correct aids, and how it's supposed to look. --<b>United States Dressage Federation <i>Connection</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Britta Schöffmann</strong> is a journalist, a Grand Prix dressage rider, a competition judge, and an instructor.
