Geritten werden. So erlebt es das Pferd

Rate this book
Wodurch unterscheidet sich eine pferdefreundliche Reitweise von einer pferdeunfreundlichen? Was bedeutet es für das Fluchttier Pferd mit dem Kopf an der Brust geritten zu werden und welche Rolle spielt die Balance? Ulrike Thiel versetzt sich in die Lage des Pferdes und lässt den Leser psychisch und physisch den Prozess des Geritten-werdens erfahren. So kann er wahrnehmen, ob er für sein Pferd dominantes Raubtier oder unterstützender Partner ist. Konsequent beleuchtet dieser Ratgeber die klassische Ausbildung und den modernen Dressursport aus Pferdesicht und gibt praktische Handlungsanweisungen für den Reiter – immer auf der Basis aktueller wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse über psychomotorisches Lernen, Trainingslehre, Biomechanik und Verhalten des Pferdes.

The title and synopsis of this book could not have been more misleading. The perspective of the horse is not covered at all-this book is filled with generalities and strange personal riding philosophies of the author (such as comparing dressage to skiing...huh?)

The author is clearly outraged by hyperflexion, as are all caring horse people, and this book is an open letter to the dressage community on that topic.

The number of photos of helmetless riders is astonishing. Stating within the text that helmets should always be worn isn’t enough: she should have omitted these photos.

I do praise the author for reminding us that classical dressage does not mean the rider position should have the upper body leaning far behind the vertical, which is currently popular.

I ordered this book online, but had I first had the chance to flip through it, I would have passed. Cannot recommend to anyone seeking to improve their riding education.

For an excellent book from the horse’s point of view, instead try “The Dressage Horse Manifesto” by Yvonne Barteau
