Training

by Gabriele Rachen-Schoneich & Klaus Schneich

Gabriele Rachen-Schoneich & Klaus Schneich attribute 95 percent of all movement problems, and resulting pain and discomfort, to natural inborn crookedness and consequent heaviness on the forehamd. These motion-related issues impact a horse's ability to learn and perform on many levels - both physical and mental. In this important book, you can learn how the Schoneichs' unique system of 'straightness training' can permanently correct the horse's way of going in a relatively short time. As work progresses, you'll be amazed by the array of problems that making a horse 'straight' can solve.

With glowing testimonials from riders of varying levels of experience - some of whom despaited of ever riding their horse again due to bahavioural or health problems - as well a additional advice from veterinarians, an equine detist, farrier, and master saddler, you'll find this book and exciting introduction to a whole new way of training and riding with the well-being of the horse in mind.

What is 'smart riding'? Well, it starts with commitment to being the best rider you can and then shaping your life to make it happen. It means utilsing every resource (your mind, body, emotions, knowledge and your horse) as effectively as possible in order to progress. Using the mind effectively is the most important aspect of smart riding since the mind controls everything else.

The elite rider is not a superhuman, but an ordinary person. Champions are only different in their attitude. They think and act in a different way to the average rider. In this excellent book, Coralie Smyth shows with a breezy and accessible style of writing how anyone can become a winner.

On horseback, the positioning and balance of the rider are of paramount importance. But how can you learn the correct seat? Often riders are forced into a posture which they are unable to master, due to physical problems alone. The consequence is tension in the rider and tension in the horse.

· The dynamic horse

· The relaxed horse

· Communicating with the horse's back

· The feeling for motion: the walk, the trot, the canter

Long reining, or lungeing, might be thought of as a means of training a horse at a safe distance, from the ground. The horse is controlled by means of extended double reins and is made to circle its trainer, who is thus able to observe every aspect of the horse's gait. Long reining is used for exercising lame or convalescing horses, for correcting poor gait, and for training horses in dressage. This book illustrates and describes in detail the various aspects of this sometimes complex but invaluable training aid.
