The Horse in Positive Tension: Harnessing Equine Kinetic Energy for Top Performance (Stammer Stefan)(Pevná vazba)

An illustrated study of the biomechanics of horse-and-rider movement like no other. Everything you know about riding and the horse''s movement isn''t what you think it is! Did you know that: - On a functional level, traditional ways of teaching rider position and horse movement do not actually work with the biomechanical system that is horse and rider? - Use of the inside rein does not encourage the horse to bend to the inside? - Training exercises and lessons that claim to be simple cannot be as easily applied as it might seem? In these pages, physical therapist and equine movement specialist Stefan Stammer uses a startlingly unique collection of color illustrations to make movement patterns in the horse visible to the human eye, in order to help riders better understand the principles of energy and motion happening within the horse. By forming new mental images for the rider, Stammer''s goal is to profoundly impact the rider''s daily work with her horse so that it is harder for her to make common mistakes or interfere with the horse''s natural mechanisms. With his hind end as his engine, the horse generates kinetic energy (the energy his body possesses due to its motion). For optimal movement and performance, this energy should flow through the horse''s body to the horse''s mouth, where it is fine-tuned with the rein aids before cycling back to the hind end. However, this movement flow is often unintentionally disrupted on its way through the horse by the rider. When, howev
