Riding in Release considers the relationship between two
significant traditions of riding and horse training - The French
Classical School and horsemanship born out of the Vaquero and
Buckeroo lineage. Both traditions are founded on the development of
a partnership with a horse, which enables lightness of foot and
thought. This book provides useful insights for riders of all
levels - whether you want to hack out in harmony or improve your
half pass - with clear, practical, step-by-step instructions and
advice. Topics covered include: consideration of the similarities
of the traditions and why this is useful for modern riders to
understand; how horses move, think and feel, and how this knowledge
is useful to us; foundational handling up to high school - common
themes; the human side of the partnership - how to make sense to
our horse and be someone he wants to learn from and how to help our
horse develop a greater ease of movement without the use of gadgets
or force. There are detailed explanations of straightness, balance
and dynamic posture along with step-by-step guidance on teaching
'the language of the aids'; tapping into your horse's amazing
capacity to learn. Finally, the development of good feeling between
you and your horse, through logical application that respects a
horse's emotional life as well as his physical body is covered.
