Jane Savoie: Dressage 101, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Beginning with the three golden rules of dressage training-clarity, consistency, and kindness-dressage legend Jane Savoie walks you through her four stages of dressage education. Stage One is an introductory course in the basics, and Stage Two covers the "nuts and bolts" of training, including transitions, school figures, and movements. By the time you finish Stage Two, you'll have a happy, responsive horse that understands going forward and being straight; accepts contact so you can communicate with him through the reins; moves in a regular rhythm and a steady tempo in all three gaits; and is proficient in transitions, circles, backing up, lengthening his stride, and goin sideways. In Stage Three, Savoie translates the secrets surrounding the half-halt, enabling you to put your horse "on the bit," and adding a whole new dimension to your training. You'll even be ready for "the big time" in Stage Four, including collected, medium, and extended gaits; advanced lateral movements; and flying changes. Don't worry, everything in this book is well within the capacity of most horses, whatever their breed, sport, or activity. With a time-tested, expert-vetted, and supremely easy-to-follow system, this book is for anyone who aims to improve the horse's body and mind so he is healthy and happy in whatever activity you choose to pursue.
