In this book, you will find exercises for all levels of horse and
rider, from novice level to advanced, in both dressage and jumping,
including the use of props in training. The author shows how
exercises can be combined to create the optimum learning experience
for rider and horse, both from a teaching perspective and for solo
training – a ‘teacher in a book’. Claire Lilley draws on her
may years of experience as a riding coach, with insight from being
a student in her formative years. She explains exercises from the
teacher's perspective: what to look for, and key teaching points to
consider. The last section of exercises is for development as a
teacher, inviting the riding teacher to evaluate their own skills
so as to to improve their coaching methods. Suggestions are given
to improve coaching methods, such as observational skills of the
physical and mental capacities of both horse and rider. Finally,
training plans are given, using the exercises in practice, with
consideration as to whether lessons are individual, shared or
group, as well as lesson location. This book will be a valuable
resource for riding instructors and pupils alike, a welcome
addition to the teacher's library.
Horses are fascinating and perceptive creatures. Developing a
thorough understanding of how a horse interprets the world around
them and deliberately being self-aware as a rider, are the
essential skills to a successful and fulfilling partnership. In The
Psychology of Horsemanship, well-known equestrian author and horse
expert, Claire Lilley, shares her passion and knowledge about
horses and riders developed from over forty years' experience in
the equestrian world, and more recently several years in the mental
health profession. Divided into three sections, the book covers:
Equine psychology - the horses's senses, primary responses and
emotion; Training psychology - the rider's communication, training
and learning from past experiences; Relational psychology - the
goals, the development and the challenges faced in successful
horsemanship. With high-quality photographs, diagrams and extended
real-life examples, this book explores the application of
psychology to the world of horses and how the understanding and
evolvement of the horse-rider relationship impacts on both mental
and physical development.
