rides from licensed riding schools, trekking centres, horse hotels

For equestrians, horse trainers, and animal lovers, Basic Training
for a Safe Trail Horse is a comprehensive, in-depth look at logical
and humane training tips for optimal trail riding. Martha
Leynes-Selbert, published writer and horse training specialist, has
written a superb user's guide that gives trainers, riders and
owners a distinctive way to establish a quiet and successful
relationship with a horse. Leynes-Selbert's approach to a gentle
way of training is explained in detail along with photographs that
give the reader step-by-step instruction. Through her relationship
with horse trainer, Patricia Allard, Leynes-Selbert's proven
methods include relating to the horse as an "alpha mare" instead of
a predator. She takes all aspects of fear-based training out of the
equation and highlights the intelligence of this regal animal. Her
methods include a more compassionate approach-how horses can
actually respond to the rider or trainer through words and patient
attention. Martha Leynes-Selbert lives with her husband, three
dogs, three cats and three horses in the rolling hills of
Virginia's countryside near Richmond. She has spent twenty years
riding trails and has published articles about her adventures and
about other horse owners in a local newspaper. A strong advocate
for the humane treatment of animals, she continues to apply her
knowledge to training and teaching others. Basic Training for a
Safe Trail Horse is her first book.
Riding skills guru Mary Wanless looks at a series of common rider
faults or problems and, through words and photos, explains how to
correct them. Each fault or problem is demonstrated by a different
rider - some working at basic level, others advanced. Mary gives
each rider a lesson, taking them through the (often subtle) changes
they have to make, and recording their progress with specially
taken photographs. Readers can witness the changes taking place and
understand through Mary's gifted teaching, how to make the
necessary shift to improve their own riding skills.The 'before' and
'after' pictures show not only the improvements in the rider's
position and effectiveness but also in their horse's way of going,
for the two are interconnected. Among the topics for in-depth
discussion are rider position, muscle tone and stabilisation; how
our minds and bodies learn new techniques or change old habits;
rider asymmetry; mental attitudes; lateral work; advanced work; and
faults such as tipping forward, leaning back, hollowing the back,
rounding the back, and pulling on the inside rein.

Drawing on the theories of the old masters of dressage, Lessons in
Lightness:
The Art of Educating the Horse shows how both horse and rider can
greatly benefit from traditional dressage techniques and exercises.
Written by a veteran horse trainer with more than thirty years of
experience, this is the only book that takes the core elements of
classical dressage and applies them as the basis for good general
horsemanship today.
With this step-by-step program, both horse and rider learn from
each other. The rider is taught to focus on subtle nuances of
communication, while the horse develops gymnastically so he can
respond correctly to the aids. Once the horse masters the basic
exercises, the rider not only has a very rideable horse, but also
one that can perform and advance in almost any discipline for which
it is suited--from dressage and show jumping to Western pleasure
and performance riding.
An exploration into the horse's physiological and psychological
state is the basis for building that strong bond most riders yearn
to achieve. Learning lightness opens the door to the art of
riding.
