This book makes training as clear as this policy.

In Riding in the Moment - The Hidden Language of Dressage " difficult dressage concepts often explained in complex jargon are translated into straightforward language.

All the figures and movements of dressage have been de-constructed to five simple "first tier basics." They are Go, Stop, Turn-in, Move out, and Soften. The three ways we use our aids in training - cognitive, mechanical, and connected have been identified and explained. Using these 5 basics and 3 types of aids a bottom up approach to dressage to create all the figures and movements is presented. This bottom up approach is a cognitive program - a method of training based on helping the horse to understand what we want rather than trying to make him do want we want.

Comments from other horse owners and riders just like you:

I have bought over 100 books on riding in my lifetime and your book is by far the most useful of them all! ....

I have been working with someone who has been helping me toward the basics that you list in your book but without verbally telling me that's what she's doing. So now her teachings are making a ton more sense to me. ... Until your book I was trying to guess at putting the pieces together.
