Great book! I’m an equine and human physical therapist and I thought that the author did a great job breaking down what could be difficult topics to understand. I think every horse owner and trainer should get a copy

As a dressage trainer, it helps me understand the biomechanic of the horse and how every little blocage influence the horse movement. It also helps me solve training problems as it shows me the root of the issue. Would recommend any trainer to read this!

Very nicely written. Explains the different muscles and it’s function as well as how to influence them. I have recommended it to others and will reference it often.
