How to use classical dressage, the basis of all other ridden disciplines, to find the best way to ride any individual horse This book explains why and, above all, how to classically train a horse. It explains that riders have to look at each horse as an individual, asking such questions as What problems does he have? How is his natural crookedness expressed? What is his personality like? Classical dressage offers a strategy for bringing each and every horse into balance. Anja Beran wants to preserve this knowledge, which has now almost been lost, and make it available to every interested rider in a practical and comprehensible way. She discusses the exercises and describes how to work through them, before explaining in detail which problems can occur and what can be done about them. Classical dressage is guided by the horse's nature, keeping him healthy and strong and helping him to develop a wonderful and expressive personality. In this way, riding becomes a pleasure for horse and rider.

Explore the knowledge and teachings of the old masters in this well illustrated and easy-to-understand riding book 
Based on the knowledge of the old riding masters, such as Xenophon, Pluvinel, and Steinbrecht, the Academic Art of Riding is rooted in the belief that one must train one’s horse not only physically, but also mentally, according to the motto: “Two spirits who want to do what two bodies can.” Fine communication with the horse as a partner is not only the way to accomplish this, but also the result. The described gymnastic exercises are made to build up the horse and keep it healthy. Starting with the horse’s basic training and work in hand, the reader also gets insight into lateral movements, piaffes, and exercises above ground. Furthermore, methods for training and physiotherapy for horses in need of correction, as well the correct seat of the rider, are described. There is also included a checklist which allows the rider to assess their horse.

This book will help you to achieve the best possible relationship with your dog. It explains the best way to motivate, lead and interact with dogs, and how to simply enjoy the time together. Modern ethology, which has shown us how dogs live naturally and what needs they have, plays a big role. Furthermore, findings from teaching psychology concerning the best training methods for dogs are considered—whether the dog learns something new or if the dog’s behavior has to be corrected. The result is a clear plea for a gentle and positive approach.

Circus tricks don’t just look impressive, but they also develop trust between horse and handler, supply exercise, and bring variety into training. What is special about this book is that the author doesn’t represent one single training system but instead combines years of practical experience and her knowledge of equine learning behavior to show how to train towards exercises such as bow, lying down, sitting, and more. Tricks covered here include warm up, bow, mountain goat, sitting up and lying down, the sit, and Spanish walk.

It is no wonder that more and more riders are discovering the old tradition of long reining for themselves. It helps the horse to improve his balance and ability to collect without the weight of the rider, and it lends itself well to training difficult movements in a horse friendly manner. Dr. Thomas Ritter explains the correct aids from the beginning through Haute École in practical terms. Thanks to the discussion of frequent mistakes and their corrections, long reining novices and experienced trainers alike can find much new information here. The author’s passion and enthusiasm for long reining are evident throughout. Many helpful tips invite you to experiment!
