Recommend for any equestrian for learning about biomechanics that are essential for a healthy experience for both horse and rider. Pictures are brilliant and writing is easy to follow and understand. Used in a presentation at our local Pony Club, and I received only positive feedback about the book in particular. Great gift or prize for an equestrian!

It’s like a bible for the rider.

There’s so much good stuff in this book that is important knowledge for every horseowner in my opinion.

After reading it I come back and read different passages again and again, it’s packed with info for all types of horses and all with good posture in mind.
