The Art of Training: Lessons from a Lifetime with Horses

By The Baron Hans von Blixen Finecke

This is the book that the author says he could not have written as a young man, but only after over sixty years of training horses and riders. It sets down in a wonderfully ordered and logical fashion, the Baron's training principles, based on a lifetime of observation, research, and experience.

The Baron covers the philosophy of training, biomechanics, what he calls the language of touch, the rider's technique and the "link system."

And, there is full treatment of the movements, described as "Purpose and Effect," with the marvelous addition of clear "It's Gone Wrong When..." and "You Can Prevent it By..." headings for each movement. Frankly, these sections alone are so useful it's worth having this book close at hand!

The text is enhanced with clear drawings by Tina Hutton. For serious riders, this is one not-to-be- missed!

Folio: 176pp, Size: 6"x9", Illustrations: Drawings throughout
