The usual daily stress of modern living means that adults--and very often, adolescents--adopt tensed-up and faulty postures, which have a negative effect on the horse when adult
beginners are learning how to ride. This modern riding manual offers a completely new training concept specifically designed to counteract the problem.
>A perfect loosening-up program, which relaxes the muscles
and eases tension.
>Complex rider movements are separated into individual
movements for easier learning.
>This method’s “swinging circles” can be practiced in day-today
situations as well as on the physio-ball—the substitute horse for busy adults who can only ride once a week.
This “swinging” training program was developed by certified riding instructor
Erika Prockl in cooperation with Eva Sogl, a high-level German dressage instructor,
and has been applied successfully for several years in Erika’s own lesson program.
This book should be required reading for every riding instructor and adult
novice rider.
ERIKA PROCKL is a teacher in further education and a certified riding instructor.
Not having learned to ride as a child but as an adult, she has personally experienced
the suffering of an adult novice rider, and learned from it.
