There are many books and DVDs devoted to the technical training of
horse and rider - how to perform movements correctly, clear
obstacles, communicate efficiently, and in other ways attain the
idealised image of an athletic partnership that results in
competitive success. But this book is different: its focus is how
the rider and trainer can make it easier for the horse to perform
optimally. This includes improved understanding of what are
reasonable expectations for a particular horse at a certain level
of schooling, how to improve his fitness (including strength and
conditioning), as well as background on how injuries may develop as
a result of interaction between internal and external factors, such
as genetics, conformation, management, and training. Relying on her
veterinary background, in-depth research, and dozens of interviews
with top riders and trainers from around the world - including
Beezie Madden, Carl Hester, and Pippa Funnell, to name just a few -
Lonnell provides guidelines for nurturing a happy, healthy equine
athlete. With special focus on conscientious pacing when building
the horse's physical capability over time, diversification of
schooling practices, detail-oriented management and care, and
putting the horse's needs above competitive ambition, readers are
given a solid grasp of what it takes to truly reach the pinnacle of
equestrian sport - and remain there - on a consistent basis.
Throughout, gorgeous colour photographs of world-class horses and
the people who work with them visually demonstrate the success of
these methods.
