New! Ride for Tomorrow by Bruce Nock, PhD In Dr. Nock's newest book his goal is to teach you how to ride so that your horse becomes healthier and more sound. He emphasizes that it has nothing to do with the style of tack used or the rider's attire. Dr. Nock explains how "horses have conformational limitations which make it difficult to carry a rider comfortably for more than a short period of time and in a way that doesn't jeopardize their soundness over the long run. They need our help to do so -- to develop the required musculature and stamina." Ride for Tomorrow explains exactly what we need to do to be able to ride our horses without harming them. Several critical riding issues are explained in detail: * Helping a horse attain a natural body posture * How to round a horse's back * The true nature of collection * Developing an effective half halt * Improving your seat and riding position * Improving your skill with the aids * Tips on saddle fitting Writing from the unique perspective of both scientist and horseman, Dr. Nock breaks down complex concepts about the bio-mechanics of riding into understandable terms, and offers clear explanations for how to put them into practice. |
