Mastering the Inner Art of Riding Creating the Ride, You Want from the Inside Out

To ride from the inside out is a master's journey. To master the art of riding the rider must master the muscle, mind, and spirit of the self, and also master the muscle, mind, and spirit of the collaborative dance with the horse. It is a challenge that few other artists or athletes must meet. As equestrians we often forget that we, as well as the horse are in training, and as the horse's development in muscle, mind, and spirit will limit our success, our lack of development in muscle, mind, and spirit will also limit the horse. Mastering the Inner Art of Riding identifies the components of mastery. Illuminates each step, then explores the impact that the you have upon your horse. This workbook provides solutions to these obstacles, and practical exercises to expand areas that need growth. You will learn to manage your thoughts, your emotions, and the impact that others have on you. You will challenge your own thinking, learn to work more collaboratively with your trainer, and horse. You will reap benefits through the practices provided within this workbook that will show up directly in your improved riding, focus, and attitude.
