Reviews

...it's not just a book of pictures and a few captions, it goes beyond that and really helps the reader to understand the horse's balance... You don't have to be a competitive rider to enjoy this book and learn from it. * Northern Horse Magazine * Excellent use of photos and illustrations with explanations get to the nub of how riders can use their weight, and the aid of gravity, to enhance their riding and help, rather than hinder, their horse in all paces and movements. While much is said and written about the rider's seat, this is the first book I've found that clearly and simply explains how weight can be used as a positive aid. -- CP CP * Horse & Hound *

You will not be able to not use weight aids when you've read this book! If you only buy one book this year about riding, make it this one. -- Gill Cooper * Tracking Up *
