Dressage in Lightness: Speaking the
Horse's Language
by Sylvia Loch
As Loch writes, it is all too easy to make assumptions about what a
horse is or is not capable of understanding and what movements he is or
is not capable of performing. Here in her newest book, she explains that
while an elegant and supportive rider posture is the most practical
option for both horse and human to remain safe and in balance, we have
to know and feel just how, why, and when to give the aids if the horse
is to understand us.
Detailing the forces that determine a horse’s movements, Loch examines
the biomechanical logic behind traditional aids and shows how to refine
technique by adapting to the horse. She insists that in order for a
horse to blossom, harmony, lightness, and the right attitude of mind
must always prevail. It is Loch’s hope that by her interpretation of
what a horse is "saying" to his rider through body language during the
training process, she can assist riders along a journey to a truly
harmonious partnership with the horse.
