All too often, dressage books attempt to cover the entire breadth
of the discipline within their pages, giving short shrift to any
one level. In Moving Freely Forward-the first volume in a
three-part series covering training, first, and second
level-Krister Swartz gets into the nitty-gritty of training level
dressage. In lively language and using analogies that bring the
overarching principles of correct riding to life, he breaks down
the fundamental skills and concepts needed for training level into
pieces that every rider can grasp. A USDF 'L' graduate with
distinction, he explains what the judge is looking for at training
level, how she arrives at the score for each movement, and what
qualities determine each collective score. In an informative
lunging primer, he demystifies this essential art, dissecting the
techniques that a skilled lunger takes for granted. Finally, in a
section that will be invaluable for competitors who must often work
on their own, he walks the reader through each training level test,
giving concrete advice that will help the rider focus on the
essentials and ride proactively, resulting in a confident,
purposeful test. Miranda Ottewell's illustrations bring essential
principles of riding to life, and illuminate the way the
biomechanics of horse and rider function together to achieve the
ideal we all recognize when we see a horse and rider in harmony.
