Description: When problems occur during a horse's dressage training, all too often the trainer neglects to ask why - this guide endeavors to find the answers to this question. While demonstrating ways in which a horse's weaknesses can be systematically corrected, the book also details quiet and effective ways of developing a horse's strengths. Placing particular value on a method of schooling that avoids force, and builds consistently on an understanding of the horse's anatomy, the aim of the training approach is harmony in movement, which can only be achieved when the rider proceeds carefully and systematically.
