2. Beyond Horse Massage: A Breakthrough Interactive Method for Alleviating Soreness, Strain, and Tension

3. Description An illustrated study of the biomechanics of horse-and-rider movement like no other.Everything you know about riding and the horse&8217smovement isn&8217twhat you think it is! Did you know that:&8226On a functional level, traditional ways of teaching rider position and horse movement do not actually work with the biomechanical system that is horse and rider?&8226Use of the inside rein does not encourage the horse to bend to the inside?&8226Training exercises and lessons that claim to be simple cannot be as easily applied as it might seem?In these pages, physical therapist and equine movement specialist Stefan Stammer uses a startlingly unique collection of color illustrations to make movement patterns in the horse visible to the human eye, in order to help riders better understand the principles of energy and motion happening within the horse. By forming new mental images for the rider, Stammer&8217sgoal is to profoundly impact the rider&8217sdaily work with her horse so that it is harder for her to make common mistakes or interfere with the horse&8217snatural mechanisms.With his hind end as his engine, the horse generates kinetic energy (the energy his body possesses due to its motion). For optimal movement and performance, this energy should flow through the horse&8217sbody to the horse&8217smouth, where it is fine-tuned with the rein aids before cycling back to the hind end. However, this movement flow is often unintentionally disrupted on its way through the horse by the rider. When, however, the cycle of kinetic energy within the horse is supported through the correct understanding and application ofbiomechanics&8212themechanical laws relating to his and his rider&8217smovement and structure&8212theouter shape of horse and rider together achieve &8220postive tension.&8221This is the rhythmic stimulation of all the neuromuscular functions necessary to perform harmoniously and at peak ability.Most importantly, once the rider understands the basic principles of the biomechanics of a horse in movement, her &8220feeing&8221in the saddle will improve. Better &8220fee&8221is an integral building block for the small and subtle steps of progress, which should accompany a rider for her entire life with horses. This smart, fascinatingly composed book is for any horseperson looking to limit riding and training mistakes, grow an understanding of how the horse best functions, and optimize equineability and performance.
