Balance in Movement

The art of successful riding is the development of harmony between horse and rider to such an extent that, to the onlooker, they perform in total unity. The key to achieving this ideal is for the rider to maintain a seat which is capable of making finely tuned movements that both communicate and remain in perfect balance with the horse. In "Balance in Movement" Susanne von Dietze explains the anatomical requirements that are crucial for establishing the perfect seat, and describes how riders can control their movements in a precise but effortless way. Already established as a classic work on the seat of the rider, "Balance in Movement" has now been completely revised and extended by the addition of more advice, maxims and exercise ideas, as well as 200 new photographs and illustrations providing riders of all levels with an essential and highly practical guide to acquiring a perfectly balanced seat.
