Description
A new approach to equitation through a quest for harmony and complicity with the horse. Michel devotes most of his book to the rider’s mental preparation: attitudes, behaviour, the way one acts and thinks, moving beyond technique with a positive and open mind. A process that favours being honest with oneself, with others and with horses. In this spirit, explore his method based on using wide-angle vision and his approach to the physical preparation of both horse and rider. Preparing to jump by working on the flat: having the horse on the bit, a straight horse, one that bends, flying changes, reining back. Working over fences with the approach, the strides. Ideas for training exercises and his precious advice for being at one’s best when competing, both mentally and physically.
