Master the art of modern riding with clear, practical guidance. This authoritative manual explains how horses move, how to ride with balance, and how to use the aids to communicate with your mount.
The book covers the natural paces of the horse—the Walk, Trot, and Gallop—along with the Amble, and then guides you through the saddle, bridle, and how to fit tack for comfort and safety. It explains how the rider’s seat, hands, legs, and weight influence the horse’s performance, from the first mounting to disciplined canter and coordinated changes of pace. You’ll also find instruction on road riding, hunting, and racing, with careful emphasis on safety, control, and proper technique.
