description: A rider can only fully undersatnd correct saddle position and movement explanations with a working knowledge of human anatomy.  Originally published in German and previously published in English as Anatomy of Riding , Anatomy of Dressage presents a clear, accessible overview of anatomy as it relates to riding. Working from this anatomical perspective, the authors, who in addition to being father and son are also medical doctors, discuss the individual requirements of riding theory. Many of their conclusions may be surprising to readers, such as the notion that it is physically impossible to "brace the lower back" as we are so often advised by instructors. An absolutely fascinating read, Anatomy of Dressage is required reading for the USDF's Instructor Certification program and essential for any rider.
