L''Équitation centrée est une véritable révolution. Nourrie de la pratique des arts martiaux et de la maîtrise de soi, cette approche, fondée sur le bon usage du corps, de l''esprit et des énergies du cavalier, donne les moyens d''acquérir un meilleur équilibre et de mieux communiquer avec le cheval. Quelle que soit la discipline équestre que l''on pratique, la différence, lorsqu''on se retrouve en selle, est sidérante.Le travail de Sally Swift repose essentiellement sur ce qu''elle a appelé les « Quatre Bases » : le centrage, la respiration, le regard doux et les blocs de construction, ainsi qu''un nouvel élément, la liaison au sol. Ces cinq « systèmes de déverrouillage », où l''imagerie mentale joue un rôle important, sont les clefs de la Nouvelle Équitation centrée. Elles permettent d''obtenir l''impulsion et la fluidité du mouvement dans la décontraction, d''aller plus loin et d''accéder à l''harmonie.Sally Swift propose ici des séances d''entraînement sous forme d''exercices soigneusement mis au point, étayés d''une foule d''explications anatomiques. Elle consacre une très large part au cheval, expliquant en détail comment agir sur sa musculature et sa locomotion pour améliorer ses performances.Le premier livre de Sally Swift, l''Equitation centrée, paru en 1988, est un best-seller de la littérature équestre, traduit en neuf langues. Ce second ouvrage, Nouvelle Equitation centrée, en est l''ultime aboutissement.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Centred riding is a way of re-educating a rider's mind and body to achieve greater balance in order to better communicate with the horse. Founder Sally Swift revolutionized riding by showing that good use of the human body makes a world of difference on horseback. Early in her work, she established what she calls the 'four basics' - centring, breathing, soft eyes and building blocks - which, together with grounding, are the main tenets of her method. When a rider learns and maintains these basics, then harmony between horse and human is possible. Why a second book? Centred riding has continued to evolve and Swift has developed many new concepts, complete with fresh imagery, which make her approach both rider-friendly and fun. Chapters include: The Four Basics and Grounding; The Use of Self; Learning Balance and Relaxtion; The Following Seat; The Horse is Your Mirror; Discover Shared Energy; Gain Extra Stability from Riding in Three Seats; The Joyful Canter; Hands That Help, Not Hinder; Centred Jumping. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003062423
