The book outlines the connections within - the different factors
affecting the horse/rider partnership (e.g. rider biomechanics,
horse posture and proprioception, saddle balance, mental focus, how
horses learn). Lindsay looks at how we can improve our own
biomechanics, explains dysfunction patterns in the rider's body,
and offers cutting-edge anti-spasm and nerve-mobility exercises to
improve the rider's shock-absorption capacity. A chapter on
fluidity and flow provides a unique standing exercise series to
mobilise postural lines and unwind stuck patterns. There is an
8-week conditioning programme of short workouts, focussing on
balancing the hip muscles and spinal mobility; and for the horse, a
selection of highly effective exercises to improve his posture,
carriage and muscle recruitment. There are tricks and tips to
reduce training trials and tribulations, including how to sit even
the biggest-moving horse's trot. She even explains how to teach
your horse a language of aids for clear communication between horse
and rider. The mind/body connection is also examined, using
Emotional Freedom Technique to reduce performance anxiety and
develop the skills of mental rehearsal - absolutely vital for
creating and stimulating neural pathways for learning dressage
tests, jumping a confident show jumping round or even just hacking
without fear affecting performance.
