Maar op de website staat over dit boek:
" To Ride for Tomorrow is to ride to enhance performance while improving the health and soundness of a horse. It has nothing to do with the type or style of tack used or the rider’s attire. It is simply, as it implies, doing today only that which will make the horse better tomorrow.
Learn:
Why it is important and how to help a horse attain and maintain a natural body posture that is bio-mechanically proficient and
optimal for carrying a rider’s weight comfortably.
How to detect and correct crookedness and why it is important to do so.
How to control longitudinal balance and why it is important to do so.
How to round a horse’s back and why it is important to do so.
The true nature of collection, why it’s important and how to get it.
How to develop an effective half halt and why it is important to do so.
How to use your core while riding and why it is important to do so.
How to improve your skill with the aids.
About saddle fitting.
In Ride for Tomorrow, Bruce breaks down complex concepts about the bio-mechanics of riding into understandable terms. Then, he goes on to explain why these concepts are important and how to put them into practice to improve a horse physically.
Ride for Tomorrow will be an invaluable source of information and inspiration for anyone interested in improving the performance of their horse without jeopardizing their soundness and long-term health."
