Book Synopsis Dressage in the Fourth Dimension by : Sherry Ackerman
Download or read book Dressage in the Fourth Dimension written by Sherry Ackerman and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *THE TOP 10 BESTSELLER FROM THE MOST DECORATED BRITISH FEMALE OLYMPIAN IN HISTORY* 'Refreshingly honest [...] a highly enjoyable, fascinating read.' Horse and Hound _______________________________________________ "To ride into that arena, next to a sea of British flags and hear the roar of clapping and cheering, was so exciting. It's a sound I will never, ever forget." Charlotte Dujardin and her charismatic horse Valegro burst onto the international sports scene with their record-breaking performance at the London, 2012 Olympics. The world was captivated by the young woman with the dazzling smile and her dancing horse. But no one quite knew what it took to get there, nor how hard the path to success would be - until now. Dujardin began riding horses at the age of two, but dressage was firmly the domain of the wealthy, not the life of a girl from a middle-class family. Her parents sacrificed all and with a undeterred focus, Charlotte left school at 16 to follow her dream. When she was invited to be a groom for the British Olympian Carl Hester, she began to ride Valegro, a dark bay gelding and an unbreakable bond was formed. This is their incredible story.

Book Synopsis How to Dressage (Book 1) by : HowToDressage
Download or read book How to Dressage (Book 1) written by HowToDressage and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-23 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of short, easy-to-read articles to help make the complexities of dressage easier to understand. HowToDressage.com has worked with a team of British Dressage judges and Grand Prix riders to outline the principles of dressage, illustrate correct training, and break down dressage movements. Learn how to: - Ride dressage movements - Avoid costly mistakes - Fix common problems - Improve your riding - Increase your scores - Move up the levels One size does not fit all When it comes to dressage, or any equestrian sport for that matter, there is no such thing as one size fits all. We all know that every horse is an individual; some can be described as ''hot horses'' whereas others have a far more laid-back attitude. For those reasons, not every horse can be ridden in the same ''text-book'' way. To make matters even more complex, there are very few riders who have the luxury of riding and training a horse from a completely blank canvas. Usually, we are having to battle against unwanted learned behaviors and bad habits that have resulted from previous poor training. That is why, within this book, we aim to not only outline the principles of dressage, illustrate correct training and break down basic dressage movements, but also help you to avoid costly mistakes and fix common problems that are frequently seen in the dressage arena. In a nutshell, we want to answer the questions that other dressage books do not. Build your own adventure Depending on the current training level of you and your horse, along with each of your individual strengths and weaknesses, how you use this book will be unique to you. Think of it as a ''build your own adventure'' and move through the contents linking together the articles that are the most useful to your current situation. Nothing in dressage in a quick fix - horses and riders do not get to Grand Prix overnight - so you''ll most likely find that articles which are not relevant to you today, may come in handy in the future as you and your horse improve and move through the levels. Where to start This book was not designed to be read from cover to cover (although you can do that if you prefer). As you glance your eyes over the contents of this book, you''ll notice that some articles will be more relevant to you than others, depending on where you and your horse are at in your dressage education. However, before you do anything else, we recommend that you read the whole of Section One: Dressage Theory (starting on page 5) as these articles will give you the foundations that will underpin all of your dressage training. Once you have read an article, you can tick it off in the contents to help keep track of your progress. Where did this book come from? In February 2018, we created a new dressage website. The idea was simple; we wanted to create short, easy-to-read articles to help make the complexities of dressage easier to understand. With most of the article titles beginning with the phrase ''How To'', it seemed only fitting to call the website HowToDressage.com. Shortly after launching, we were given the opportunity of publishing our best articles into a book. Needless to say, we took it. We hope that this is going to be the first of many in the How To Dressage Book Series. Example articles that are in the book - How to keep a consistent rein contact - How to ride sitting trot - How to ride a give and retake of the reins - How to ride a walk pirouette - How to ride a half-halt - How to stop your horse coming behind the vertical - How to encourage your horse to be more forward, but not faster - What is the difference between bend and flexion HowToDressage.com

Book Synopsis 101 Ranch Horse Tips by : Patrick Hooks
Download or read book 101 Ranch Horse Tips written by Patrick Hooks and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A well-trained, responsive, and intelligent working cow horse is more than just a pleasure to ride or watch in action; such an animal is an integral part--a prized employee, if you will--of a ranch's workforce. How to find and then educate the horse to work cattle in pens and on the range, to negotiate a variety of terrains, and perform all the other tasks it will be asked to do (under a variety of often adverse conditions) is the subject of this handy guide. For example: Being able to open a gate from horseback is a mandatory job for any cowboy. A good place to introduce the young horse to this experience is by using a gate set up as part of an obstacle course. It is desirable and safer if the gate can swing freely and is without any attachments. Start by simply walking your horse through the gate when it's open. Reaching down and gently swinging the gate as you pass through it is the next step. If your horse is a little spooked by your reaching down, be aware that horses are naturally afraid of tight places. Once your horse can pass through an open gate, then attempt to open a closed gate. Be sure your horse fully understands your hand and leg cues before attempting this step, because he must be able to move off your leg to stand next to the fence, move toward the fence as it swings open to let you pass through, and then move around so you can close it. Written by an experienced rancher and horse trainer, 101 Ranch Horse Tips will show you how to start a young horse or improve an older one with techniques that can apply to performance and enjoyment on or beyond the cattle ranch.

Book Synopsis The Horse is My Teacher by : Van Hargis
Download or read book The Horse is My Teacher written by Van Hargis and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories from a rural working life that teach us how to be better horsemen—and better people. Van Hargis grew up in the saddle on an East Texas ranch, training his first horse at age 12 and eventually making a living starting cutting and reining colts, many of which would leave his hands to become champions. Naturally outgoing (labeled a “talker” by teachers in grade school), Hargis shared stories and lessons from his work with horses early on. Here, in his first book, he reaches out to readers with a collection of down-to-earth, highly relatable tales—experiences that, over the years, have impacted his own horsemanship and life in significant ways. Readers absorb fundamental knowledge of horses skillfully embedded in genuine anecdotes straight off the ranch: How Grandma's cross-stitch laid the groundwork for more patience when starting colts and trailer loading. How a daughter's temper tantrum helped perfect timing of the release of pressure. How the way Mom worked the gate when sorting cattle taught you to look for what the horse really wanted to achieve. How playing on championship football teams provided the understanding of true partnership between rider and horse. With easy-to-remember quotes to anchor what readers learn and practical tools that can be used in the arena or on the trail, by Western or English riders, The Horse Is My Teacher imparts the principles of great horsemanship while also inspiring each of us to apply those same principles to further our own personal growth and success.
