Hardback. Zustand: Good. Within riding there exists a fundamental conflict of interest: The rider needs to have control - her confidence depends on her ability to control the balance of her own body as well as that of her very powerful horse. The horse, by nature, needs to feel free - free in both mind and body to express himself through physical movement. In When Two Spines Align: Dressage Dynamics, author Beth Baumert, writer and editor at the internationally recognized equestrian magazine Dressage Today, resolves the freedom-control enigma by taking a close look at the individual components that make up riding and dressage. Beth provides insight gleaned from years of working with the best riders, trainers, and judges in the dressage world, and details practical ways riders can learn to harness the balance, energies, and forces at play when they're in the saddle. Readers will discover how to use positive tension and what the author calls the four physical Powerlines - Vertical, Connecting, Spiraling, and Visual - to become balanced and effective in the saddle.
