In no uncertain terms, this book asks what it means to be a
responsible rider, and whether, in today's society, it is indeed
possible for equestrians in any horse sport to put the good of the
horse first and foremost, and above ambition and fame. With
vibrantly clear illustrations of the horse's anatomy and how it is
impacted by various riding techniques, Balancing Act presents proof
that, although some steps have been taken to prevent the use of
forceful and cruel techniques, many sport horses still perform in
pain and discomfort. With fabulous art to help show the anatomy of
the horse and multiple examples of poor riding in pictures so that
the reader can avoid similar pitfalls, Dr. Heuschmann gives all of
us reasons to examine ourselves and those around us through the
lens of the horse's welfare. Readers will also find five chapters
full of researched and proven recommendations for retraining horses
with behavioural or biomechanical issues related to poor training
techniques, including: the tense horse; the rein-lame horse; the
horse with gait deviations; the hyperflexed horse; and the
unbalanced horse that is completely off the aids. In paperback for
the first time with new observations from the author, Balancing Act
is for every conscientious horse person intent on riding and
training with the good of the horse in mind.
