The authors explain physiological findings as the basis for riding lessons and explain important guidance for training the horse as well as ways of recognizing and resolving training problems.
Olympic champion and former national coach Klaus Balkenhol says that countless top horses disappear into obscurity due to improper training, never to be seen again, while other difficult and rather average horses are transformed into top horses with good trainers. He explains that through proper training informed with an understanding of the interactions between muscular activity and the skeleton during the different training phases, average horses can become top horses.
Veterinarian Gerd Heuschmann believes that good and well-thought-out riding is the only and best protection against all health problems for horses.
Dr. Gerd Heuschmann views this book as mandatory reading for responsible sport and recreational riders, trainers, judges and veterinarians, regardless of their disciplines.
This book is for all responsible riders and trainers who are involved in the training of horses as well as for tournaments, judges, and equine veterinarians alike.
