Book Description
This book presents, with great clarity, the logical basis of the Training Pyramid (also known as the Training Scale or Training Wheel) and how it is used to train horses - not just dressage horses, but horses used in any equestrian discipline. It discusses the necessary hierarchy represented in the Training Pyramid as well as how and why the elements of it affect each other. Horse owners, trainers and horse show judges will have a clear and concise guide to the German Training Pyramid with definitions, examples, photos, diagrams, and exercises which provide guidelines for flatwork. Trainers can use it as a teaching tool - a book for their students to purchase, read and have discussions about. It can also serve as a tool to bridge the gap between competitors and judges of dressage and western dressage.

Book Description
This book describes in a practical and concise manner exactly how a horseback rider can learn to clearly and effectively communicate non-verbally with a horse. In order to effectively train a horse and enjoy a mutual partnership with it, a rider needs to learn how to use his/her body and other aids in order to clearly communicate with a horse in a harmonious way. Learning the psychology as well as the biomechanics of horses is of paramount importance to any rider who wishes to ride and train a horse. This book details how a rider needs to be trained in order to achieve those goals.

Dressage in the Fourth Dimension
Author: Sherry Ackerman
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1577317289
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Dressage is often seen as the most formal and controlled of the equine sports, following an ancient, standardized training progression. For philosopher and dressage instructor Dr. Sherry Ackerman, dressage is much more. It — along with riding in general — can be a transformational art and an avenue for reflection, exploration, and self-knowledge through which a rider can experience liberation from the individual, egoistic self. This second, revised edition of Dressage in the Fourth Dimension is a pioneer work in awakening “dressage consciousness.” Drawing on such diverse sources as sacred geometry, ancient Western and Eastern philosophies, and esoteric spirituality, Ackerman seeks to heal humanity’s alienation from nature through riding. She points us toward the liberation from societal conditioning and normative thinking, and, ultimately, from our own egos. Her concept of the fourth dimension requires us to leave the analytic, objective mind behind and enter into the mystery of inspiration. A short, unique, thought-provoking work that has enjoyed a word-of-mouth reputation among horse people for years, Dressage in the Fourth Dimension will challenge riders’ assumptions about their horses and themselves.

The Whiteboard Daily Book of Cues
Author: Karl Eagleman
Publisher: Victory Belt Publishing
ISBN: 1628601469
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 750
Book Description
There is no such thing as a “golden cue” that works for everyone 100% of the time. Therefore, the more cues a coach has in their toolbox, the more likely they will be able to effectively communicate with their athletes. Coaches use cues—short, easy-to-remember phrases—to help athletes perform movements correctly as well as to convey useful sports psychology perspectives. Athletes commonly hear movement cues like “Crush the Can” and “Grip the Ground” along with motivational cues like “Consistency is King.” A passionate coach, lifelong athlete, and advanced degree holder in kinesiology, Karl Eagleman, creator of the popular Whiteboard Daily Instagram, has put together a valuable resource for coaches, athletes, and anyone who wants to improve their own movement. The Whiteboard Daily Book of Cues contains a comprehensive collection of illustrations drawn on a whiteboard—a medium that virtually all coaches are familiar with. It boasts the largest list of cues ever compiled, covering Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, gymnastics, kettlebell exercises, and monostructural movements (running, rowing, jumping rope, etc.). Each illustration is hand drawn in a simple, stylized way to make the cues easy to retain and to utilize during training. No two athletes are the same; we all learn in our own unique ways. By providing hundreds of cues, this book will help coaches and athletes learn a new way to understand movement for themselves and/or to communicate safe, effective movement to others.

A brilliant work from the most influential philosopher since Sartre.

Academic Equitation
Author: General Decarpentry
Publisher: Trafalgar Square Books
ISBN: 157076607X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
Originally written and published in 1949, Academic Equitation was considered by dressage experts to be the most important contribution to classical training in the twentieth century. This book was intended as a preparation for international dressage competitions but is far more than this. It discusses the subjects of academic equitation, the riding master and the choice of horse before introducing the reader to the author's systematic program, covering the very early training right up to the most advanced movements. The appendix deals with lungeing, work in hand, long reins and pillar work. General Decarpentry was not only a distinguished scholar of artistic equitation but also equally versed in putting the theories into practice. He deals with the education of the young horse and the complications and details of advanced schooling with the hand of a master. Although he claims that nothing in the book is his—his training system is based on the methods of D'Aure, Baucher and L'Hotte—the General's wisdom and deep knowledge are manifest throughout. It was the General's great wish that traditional teachings on the art of equitation should not be lost to those who wished to study equitation. In this most important work he has succeeded in presenting these teachings in such a way that allows both layman and expert to obtain a deeper insight into this fascinating subject.

Book Description
Walter Zettl's first book, Dressage in Harmony, was dedicated to the riding and training of horses and received wide acclaim. In this beautiful new book, Herr Zettl discusses those who have a critical influence on the welfare of horses and the future of the sport of dressage. That group includes the breeder, without whom we would not have horses; the owner and sponsor, who finance and sustain the horse; the rider, who signals to the horse through proper aids; the trainer and/or instructor, who guide the horse and rider into harmonic partnership; the stable manager and groom, who keep the horse happy, safe and secure; the show committee, which regulates the competitive side of the sport; and the judge, who must recognize and reward correct training.
