About this title

Synopsis

Collection is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Western and English riding. Everyone wants it, but few people know how to get it. World-class rider, trainer, and clinician Lynn Palm now offers the one and only book that explains away the mysteries of collection while telling you exactly how to attain it.

Lynn begins on the ground with in-hand exercises―free lungeing, ground-driving, and lungeing-and-bitting―to gain the horse's trust and improve his responses to cues and commands. She then explains how you start in the saddle with simple transitions
