The usual daily stress of modern living means adults, and very often even adolescents, adopt tensed up and faulty postures, which have a particularly negative effect on the horse. here is a modern riding manual with a completely new training concept specifically designed to counteract the problem: a perfect loosening up programme, with relaxes and eases. complex rider’s movements are separated into individual movements for ease of practice. these swinging circles can be practised in day to day situations as well on the physio ball – the substitute horse. erika prockl is a teacher in further education and a certified riding instructor. not having learned to ride as a child but as an adult, she has personally experienced the suffering of the adult novice rider, and learned from it. this “swinging“ training programme was developed in co operation with eva sogl, a well known high level dressage instructor, and has been applied successfully for several years. this book should be required reading for every riding instructor and adult novice rider.
