HOW GOOD RIDERS GET GOOD

Daily Choices that Lead to Success in Any Equestrian Sport DENNY EMErSON
What do excellent riders possess that most do not? This is a question that many ask, but few have explored the sport of riding for an answer. Denny Emerson, an internationally known rider and one of the chronicle of the Horses 50 Most influential Horsemen of the Twentieth Century, has devoted years to thinking about this very subject. And now he shares what he has deduced to be the defining characteristics that make good riders, good. Emerson has drawn the conclusion that there are seven factors that relate to becoming a world-class rider: personal drive, life circumstances, a support network, knowledge, physical skill, character traits, and the horse. His book examines these elements and offers insight into what can be changed about yourself, as well as counsel as how to accept what cannot. Emerson provides real-life examples from his own riding career and features the stories of 25 other individuals who have attained world-class rider status in various disciplines. Youre bound to find Emersons words an inspiring leg-up for excelling in your chosen equestrian sport.

Only with a working knowledge of human anatomy can a rider fully understand the instructions given for correct position in the saddle and explanations of the movements. Originally published in Germany and previously published in English as Anatomy of Riding, Anatomy of Dressage presents a clear overview of anatomy as it relates to riding, written for the layman. Working from this anatomical perspective, the authors, who in addition to being father and son are also medical doctors, discuss the individual requirements of riding theory. Many of their conclusions may be surprising to readers, such as the notion that it is physically impossible to brace the lower back as we are so often advised by instructors. An absolutely fascinating read, Anatomy of Dressage is required reading for the USDFs Instructor Certification program.
