Cover is dark blue with gold lettering on spine. Vivid dark blue endpapers. Pages are clean and tight; still crisp; this is a NEW book. Translated by Friederike Butler. First published in Germany in 2001 as Zugelfuhrung mit Gefuhl. Lavishly illustrated with dozens of mostly color photos and b/w drawings/diagrams. Chapters are: Nature of the Gaits and Balance; Protecting the Horse's Mouth; Foreign Object in the Horse's Mouth; Rider's Hands and the Response from the Horse's Mouth; Questionable Devices; Rein Contact During the Transition Period; Rein Contact During the Completion Phase; Traditional Bridling in Spain and Portugal; Conversation between the Rider's Hands and the Horse's Mouth; index. An absolutely fascinating book that focuses on one, perhaps the most critical, aspect of riding--the hands and rein contact, and how to achieve the correct feel, creating the best situation for you to achieve true partnership with your horse. ; Color Photographs; 6 1/2 x 9 1/2; 160 pages; DJ in mylar cover.
