For the Good of the Rider

methods, renowned for boldly cutting through the conflicting advice so often
given to riders, make skillful riding a possibility for all.
Mary Wanless has
spent nearly 20 years developing teaching strategies to enhance riding
performance and to eliminate the difficulties that beset so many riders today.
Her methods, renowned for boldly cutting through the conflicting advice so often
given to riders, make skillful riding a possibility for all. She explains that
behind the art of riding lies a science with laws of cause and effect. Observing
these laws transforms the rider's body into a sophisticated tool for influencing
the horse, allowing riders to simulate the techniques that gifted riders use
naturally. Chapters on learning, sports psychology, dismounted exercises, and
bodywork expand the ideas of her earlier books: The Natural Rider, Ride with
Your Mind, and For the Good of the Horse.
