Arena Tracks - Christian Baier - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Arena Tracks - Christian Baier - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Rider and trainer Christian Baier has been educated in horses and equitation all over the world. In his work to develop an international rider and trainer education and certification system, he realized the equestrian lexicon lacked a practical reference that brought all the classical “arena tracks”—patterns and figures used in training the horse in a schooling area—together in a simple way that is easy to understand. The arena tracks guide the rider in how to safely work the horse within a specific space in an organized way. They are also an integral tool in the conscientious trainer''s development of the horse''s body and conditioning. For the instructor, arena tracks are an important tool for communicating with the student.Ultimately, these classical tracks are at the foundation of everything we do in an arena with a horse, from the beginner rider just off the longe line, learning basic navigation around the ring, to the most experienced rider working a horse at the highest level of international competition. Even jumping courses consist of a combination (or variation) of arena tracks strung together from start to finish marker!In these pages readers not only find handy quick-reference sections on the correct arena tracks for training and riding, but also a unique collection of over 50 select exercises for using them in the development of a sport horse on the flat and over fences. Putting the arena tracks into practice is the basis for correct systematic training and education in both dressage and jumping. Baier shows the reader exactly how, with distinct sections devoted to clear illustrations of where to go and fundamental explanations for what to do. Progression in ability and understanding of both horse and rider is the goal, with tracks featured from simple to most complex, and the sections dedicated to cavalletti and jumping moving from the very first time riding over a pole to advanced exercises and courses at a very high level.The exercises shared in this book, used in combination with a working knowledge and understanding of the classical arena tracks, can lead to huge leaps in the growth and advancement of horse and rider—sometimes even after years of feeling “stuck.” Arena Tracks is a fabulous reference for all riders to keep in the barn and for any instructor dedicated to teaching the classical art of riding, as well as being a much-needed learning tool for equestrian federations, associations, and schools worldwide.

Long-Reining - Wilfried Gehrmann - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Long-Reining - Wilfried Gehrmann - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

The art of long-reining (long-lining)—directing the horse from the ground with two extended reins to reach the trainer''s hands—is incredibly beneficial for both horse and rider. It provides a means of conditioning a young horse before he is strong enough to support a rider. It is a way to rehabilitate a horse who may be coming back into work after extended time off. It can be a safe alternative for schooling an animal with behavioral challenges that make riding dangerous. And of course, it is wonderful preparation for both riding and driving, as it teaches the horse to respond to the rein and voice aids, and it provides the handler with an understanding of the horse''s body language, comprehension of the lesson, and reactions to training challenges.If long-reining is an essential building block in a horse''s training, this book is the essential building block in every horse person''s education. In these pages, the world''s “long-reining maestro,” Wilfried Gehrmann, provides the basics to preparing the horse and handling the reins and whip, as well as positioning of the handler''s body—both when moving with the horse and when asking the horse to move around you in longe circles and other figures.Gehrmann also introduces the progressive training that can be accomplished on the long reins according to the classical Training Scale, providing readers a foundation that allows for more creative uses of the technique as conditioning and abilities in both horse and rider increase. For those with interests in dressage and performance, he provides instructions for correctly developing both piaffe and passage on the ground before attempting them under saddle.A book that is a timeless, solid reference that intends to help more people work with their horses in diverse and beneficial ways, and with pages full of useful tips gathered over a lifetime of studious practice by one of the technique''s very best, Long-Reining: The Classical Training Method is a brilliant and valuable groundwork education for every trainer and rider, whatever their discipline.

Horses in Translation - Sharon Wilsie - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Horses in Translation - Sharon Wilsie - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

With her landmark first book Horse Speak: An Equine-Human Translation Guide , trainer Sharon Wilsie upended conventional methods of human-equine communication (using words and ropes, for example) with her clear classification of the language horses use with each other (body, breath, and intent), as well as an unparalleled explanation of how we as humans can effectively mirror it. Learning to ''listen'' and ''talk'' to horses in their language, instead of expecting them to comprehend ours, is a milestone in the progressive philosophy of horsemanship, helping find positive solutions to behaviour and training problems and ultimately leading to fewer misunderstandings between horses and humans. In her much anticipated follow-up, Wilsie uses true stories to relate examples of ''problems'' and how they were solved using Horse Speak. Her engaging narrative introduces readers to dozens of real life scenarios from different barns, various disciplines, and riders and handlers with contrasting experiences and backgrounds. Wilsie highlights her Horse Speak process, the clues that point to the best course of action, and the steps she takes to connect with horses that have shut down, grown confused, or become sulky or aggressive for any number of reasons. The result is a book full of incredible insight and exciting possibilities.

Four Legs Move My Soul - Isabell (dressage Olympian) Werth - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Four Legs Move My Soul - Isabell (dressage Olympian) Werth - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

German Olympian Isabell Werth is one of the most successful horsewomen in the world. With six Olympic gold medals and scores of championship titles to her name, there are few who equal her on paper. But an equestrian’s success is wholly dependent on the relationship she has with her athletic partner—her horse—and Werth’s astounding accomplishments would not have been possible without her unique approach to working with the animals she’s loved since childhood. Even as a little girl, growing up on a farm on the Lower Rhine, it was clear that Werth possessed an extraordinary gift for empathizing with horses and foreseeing how they were likely to react in certain situations. This insight gave her a special ability as a rider and trainer. Here, Werth collaborates with accomplished sports journalist Evi Simeoni —someone who has witnessed and written about her career from the very beginning—to tell her life story. Readers will get the inside scoop when it comes to Werth’s accomplishments—and her failures, too. They’ll hear her personal thoughts regarding some of the biggest controversies to rock the dressage world: Rollkur and Totilas. Perhaps most importantly, they’ll learn about each of the sensitive and talented horses that has impacted Werth’s life, including Gigolo, Satchmo, and Bella Rose. For you see, there is a meme that is popular in the riding community that says, '' Two legs move our body, four legs move our soul ''. And it is this sentiment that Werth feels perhaps best defines her.

The Working Equitation Training Manual - Ali Kermeen - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Working equitation is a competitive equestrian sport that originated in Europe, with the first European Championship held in 1996. It quickly gained a fanbase for its beauty and its focus on classical horsemanship ideals and developing handiness under saddle. In 2004 the World Association for Working Equitation (WAWE) was established, and today, many countries have their own national organizations for governing working equitation competitions, including the United States—the USAWE was formed in 2020. Heralding the advent of a brand-new way to pursue and demonstrate horse-and-rider connection, working equitation competitor and trainer Ali Kermeen has written a much-needed reference for preparing both horse and rider to participate.The Working Equitation Training Manual provides a one-of-a-kind progressive training system to those new to the sport. Lessons focus on developing confidence with the obstacle phases of working equitation while incorporating dressage principles. The elements of each obstacle are broken down and then brought back together in step-by-step exercises that:- Prepare horse and rider to perform an obstacle properly.- Introduce horses and riders to competition obstacles.- Help improve and polish an obstacle''s execution.With clear diagrams and color photographs, a helpful glossary of terms to help those unfamiliar with working equitation terminology, and variations and benefits for every exercise, readers are provided an appealing introduction to an exciting option for adding diversity to daily training, as well as showing and competing in other sports. “I started teaching these skills to all my students, regardless of their riding discipline,” says Ali. “These working equitation exercises help my riders excel at dressage, endurance, trail riding, pony clubbing, eventing, jumping, gaited horses, groundwork, Cowboy Dressage, and breed shows.” The Working Equitation Training Manual promises to do the same for you.

Starting Young Horses - Jason Irwin - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Starting Young Horses - Jason Irwin - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

The most critical stage of training a horse is establishing a solid foundation for future skill development. By ensuring essential skills are in place, horses are physically and mentally prepared to respond to human requests and adapt to new environments, leading to healthier, happier horses, no matter their discipline. Trainer and clinician Jason Irwin began starting horses as a kid on his family ranch. Through experience and a lifetime of studying horses and horsemen, he has developed a straightforward, safe, and fair-minded system for ensuring young horses have what they need to get along in a human's world. The horses he starts go on to excel in any discipline, Western or English, and do so with the willingness that comes with true understanding. In these pages, Irwin provides the steps anyone can follow to ensure the same success with their horse: Ground manners that set the stage for all further training; Groundwork exercises for advancing to saddling and riding; Sensible and sensitive roundpen work; First bridling and first saddling; 'Riding from the ground' to teach steering, stopping, and turning; Easy-to-use ground-driving exercises; How to tell when a horse is ready for the first ride and set him up for success. Irwin explains how to take the horse's personality and individuality into consideration, adjusting as needed to keep him willing. He looks at the 'different' horses who might need a creative approach, and provides guidance on how to identify 'bad days' and know when to quit without losing ground. 'In the past,' Irwin writes, 'there was very often a feeling that the first rides on a horse were something that a person 'just needed to get through'... Thankfully, that's changing.' With his patient, practical guidance, the first rides - and all the rides after that - can be something both horse and rider enjoy.

The Horse Agility Handbook (New Edition) - Vanessa Bee - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

The Horse Agility Handbook (New Edition) - Vanessa Bee - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Over the past few decades, an evolution in how we go about training horses has encouraged horse owners to spend more time handling their horses on the ground in order to achieve good behavior, mutual trust, and a healthy partnership, before they ever think about getting in the saddle. In addition, horses are being discovered as ideal companions by many individuals who may have little interest in riding at all, but who do enjoy pursuing activities that are fun for both human and horse. These changes have created a generation of horsepeople eager to pursue the competitive and social benefits of Horse Agility, the first internationally recognized, competitive horse sport dedicated to those who most enjoy working their horses from the ground. In this terrific handbook, Founder of the International Horse Agility Club and horse trainer Vanessa Bee, shows you all you need to know to try it for yourself.Like the hugely popular Dog Agility classes enjoyed by countless canines and their handlers, all over the world, Horse Agility involves a colorful obstacle course and subtle directions from a handler. The horse learns to complete the course because he chooses to—not because he is constrained, forced, whipped, prodded, or bribed. Bee explains there is no reason the horse cannot enjoy your time together so much, he will choose to "play" with you—over, under, and through obstacles, without a lead rope, even when loose in a large, grassy pasture.With succinct, clearly explained lessons in everything from horse handling and body language to directions for obstacle and course construction, plus full color photographs throughout, this is the ideal introductory book for anyone interested in giving the sport of Horse Agility a try, or for those looking for out-of-the-box training ideas to keep horses interested in learning and happily engaged in all their interactions with you.

All horses have four hooves that are integral to their overall health, their athletic ability, and ultimately, their longevity, whether their “job” is simply grazing in a pasture or competing at the highest levels.

Ultimate Exercise Routines for Riders - Laura Crump Anderson - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Ultimate Exercise Routines for Riders - Laura Crump Anderson - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

It is no secret that riders often neglect their own needs in order to ensure their horses'' are met. Countless dollars go toward massages, chiropractic work, and various other therapies that keep our equines comfortable and performing their best. We carefully schedule their training programs to achieve peak fitness at just the right time, and we juggle our personal lives—careers, family, you name it—around it all. But horse sports are a partnership, and if we want our horses to be at their best, then we have to be at ours, and that means paying careful attention to our own athletic bodies.

A lifelong equestrian herself, she then approaches the scheduling issue head-on, helping readers determine where best to fit in the minutes they need in the places they need to be anyway—the tack room, the arena, the barn aisle. Using only basic items you are likely to find around the stable, she keeps equipment needs straightforward, recognizing that the less likely it is you forget something, the more likely it is you''ll get that workout in.Readers are then treated to seven original fitness routines, each dedicated to a specific area like the lower body or the core, or designated as a full-body program. Full color photos of top riders, including Jan Byyny, Sloane Coles, and Sharon White, demonstrate how to perform exercises effectively, and step-by-step instructions ensure you get it right.

Taming Wild - Elsa Sinclair - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

Taming Wild - Elsa Sinclair - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

The idea when working with horses is we can develop our feel and timing “within the comfort zone of the horse.” Allowing the horse the freedom of choice is at the core of Sinclair’s Freedom Based Training® method. The techniques she uses and teaches were first developed as she spent a year with an untouched Mustang mare, seeking to discover whether, without any ropes or halters or treats or sticks, she and her horse could develop a language and a way of deciding to do things together—a collaborative effort rather than one that plays by the rules of horse training tradition. Sinclair’s exploratory project with her Mustang Myrnah became the documentary film Taming Wild, viewed by thousands from around the world, and opening new avenues for Sinclair to share her discoveries. But Sinclair’s journey began 30 years before Taming Wild, and the lessons and contrasts and hard questions she faced as a lifelong rider and a talented horse trainer, which she bravely shares in these pages, are rich in value for all those considering their own life with horses. Sinclair dares to show how—despite her successes and her ability to make a living and her constant search for different means of handling the inevitable conflicts that arise when two species struggle to communicate—the way things “were done” just didn’t sit right. She dreamed of something else, something different—for some other way for humans to be with horses. Sinclair’s style is to teach through storytelling, and the result is the reader walks away from these pages with not only an understanding of why a quest for a more insightful, more collaborative training method was needed, but also how to begin to incorporate the basics of Freedom Based Training in a modern life with horses. Sinclair knew when she started her project with Myrnah that their story might potentially be bigger than just the two of them. Taming Wild, the movie, began a movement, and now her book continues it. Together we will move the needle of horsemanship closer to an ideal, where human expectations are in step with the horses we ride, rather than the other way around.

The Horses Who Made Me - Alizee Froment - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

The Horses Who Made Me - Alizee Froment - Bog - Trafalgar Square - Plusbog.dk

“In my eyes,” says former French international dressage competitor Alizée Froment, “dressage is the journey to perfect communication and absolute harmony between horse and rider.” Her own journey began on the backs of Shetland ponies under the watchful eyes of her mother and then found its way into jumping competitions, and later on, dressage arenas. Along the way, many horses entered and exited her life, each bringing with them a depth of personality that steadily built her understanding of the relationship a rider can build with an equine partner.In her deeply personal and strikingly beautiful book, Froment traces her evolution as a horsewoman, a dressage competitor, and now a world-renowned performer and liberty trainer. Readers meet the ponies she learned on, and the challenging mounts that helped her grow as a junior rider. There were horses she immediately loved and horses she had to work to connect with—and eventually there were Mistral and Sultan, who she calls her “yin and yang,” and who elevated her aspirations both beside and on the back of a horse. It is with these two special souls that Froment further explored riding the Grand Prix movements with only a neck rope—no bridle or bit, and often bareback as well—and demonstrating to the world the potential that is there for all riders to enjoy, if they are open to the experience and are willing to take the time for it to evolve.Readers will be entranced by Froment''s willingness to bare her soul, powerfully articulating her feelings when confronted with jealousy, with performance expectations, with the possibility of losing the horse she loved to an unknown buyer, with retiring a beloved partner, and with the changing circumstances and altered allegiances of her heart when her daughter Louise is born. As tender as a story about riding, competing, and performing with horses at the highest levels can be, The Horses Who Made Me is first a story of one woman''s personal journey, eternally questioning herself, and second, an inspiration for anyone who is forever striving for a better way of training horses, because of the profound beauty you just might find.
