Widely known for her innovative teaching philosophy stressing body awareness, the value of "soft eyes," proper breathing, centering, and balance, Sally Swift has been a pioneering riding instructor for half a century. In book form for the first time, her methods enable horse and rider to achieve harmony, working together naturally, without pain.
Unlike traditional teachers, Sally Swift does not believe in forced training techniques that cause stiff bodies and tense riding. Instead, through the use of vivid, unusual, and highly creative images that transcend mechanics ("Pretend you're a spruce tree; the roots grow down from your center as the trunk grows up"), plus a thorough knowledge of human and equine anatomy, this wise and inspiring teacher enables the conscientious equestrian to reassess habitual responses, in order to ride in natural positions, break through frustrating plateaus, and achieve ever-rising goals with comfort, vitality, and precision.
Precise illustrations and photographs never before used in riding books explain anatomy and image work to give mind and body new and relaxed approaches to the inner process of riding.
Centered Riding is for those with little experience all the way up to world class.
Balance in Movement - Susanne Von Dietze $64.95 includes freight (available in DVD also $54.95)
How to achieve the perfect seat. The art of successful riding is the development of harmony between horse and rider to such an extent that, to the onlooker, they perform in total unity. The key to achieving this ideal is for the rider to maintain a seat which is capable of making finely tuned movements that both communicate and remain in perfect balance with the horse. In "Balance in Movement" Susanne von Dietze explains the anatomical requirements that are crucial for establishing the perfect seat, and describes how riders can control their movements in a precise but effortless way. Already established as a classic work on the seat of the rider, "Balance in Movement" has now been completely revised and extended by the addition of more advice, maxims and exercise ideas, as well as 200 new photographs and illustrations providing riders of all levels with an essential and highly practical guide to acquiring a perfectly balanced seat.
