Two Brains, One Aim e-bog

A valuable, thought-provoking look at the best ways riders and horses can learn and improve together.Riding well can be a puzzle. This book puts together the pieces, including:How humans and horses learn.Striving for partnership vs. dictatorship.Early training and developing skills.Demystifying equestrian-speak.Dressage outside the arena.Ground poles for the rest of us.Jumping and cross-country tips.Solving problems, wherever you ride.Competition psychology.Being coached and being a coach."e;This book is aimed at riders, coaches, and anyone interested in learning more about how humans and horses interact. I have tried to harness my own experiences when I cover the three main disciplinesdressage, show jumping, and eventingand how they relate to one another. I look at how those in a coaching position can guide riders to perform better by making their lives less complicated and more fulfilling, and I examine how riders can apply the same principles to training their horses and become self-sufficient."e; Eric Smiley
