The way in which we are taught to ride has a very great effect on both us and our horses, and the techniques learned can either make or break a potentitally successful partnership.  If poor or incorrect riding techniques are used in the saddle giving rough and confusing signals to the horse, it can be very difficult to build up a good relationship.  What we should all aim for, is complete harmony between horse and rider.

Heather Moffett's Enlightened Equitation aims to demystify the tecniques of riding through simple, logical explanation and clear illustrations, in a way never thought of before.  Heather regularly takes riders for remedial work who have been riding for twenty years or more, yet who still cannot sit easily to the trot and canter, despite regular lessons.  She can remedy these problems often in minutes, much to the delight - but often frustration - of the pupil, who cannot understand why he or she has not always been taught in this way!  From the first lesson Heather shows her pupils how to mirror the movements of thehorse's back, abosrbing his energy in trot and canter, and rising to the trot in perfect balance, without causing him any pain or discomfort.

Illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs, this book explains the secrets of achieving total synchronisation with the horse's movement and how to apply the invisible aids, and of training through non-confrontation, not force - all of which are achieveable to the average rider.  Partnership, not domination, is the key to success.
