O M G Find your Beginner's Mind and Start Perfect Practice
I devour books on riding. This book will give you a WOW-experience: meaning INSIGHT. Based on the latest research on 'perfect practice', how we actually develop expertise (pattern matching, staying vigilant with a beginner's mind) this is a mindblowingly useful book. If you are stuck in bad habits, routines, body-mind memories which you are not even aware of, and can't get out of. This will open up doors to give you a new start. This book is therefore uniquely great for both beginners and for experienced riders. HIGHLLY RECOMMENDED. And, as other reviewers have pointed out, watch out: Ït's worth noting that this is EXACTLY THE SAME BOOK as "Rider Biomechanics". Word for Word, chapter for chapter. One is published in the US, one in England."
The basics
Good book, if you have a knowledgeable trainer chances are you’ll already know all of this. Good for a beginner but I already knew all of this.
Detailed
I have been teaching riding for more than 40 years. This is an excellent book - just be ready for lots of detail that will require you to think outside the box. At this point, any time I can learn another tidbit, I feel like it is a win and this book definitely has expanded my thinking and horizons.
Exact same book as Rider Biomechanics
First, I love Mary Wanless's books, BUT I don't appreciate purchasing this book and finding out that it is exactly the same as Rider Biomechanics. Different name, same material. There should be a disclosure in the book description that informs consumers.
Identical books, different titles
It's worth noting that EXACTLY THE SAME BOOK as "Rider Biomechanics". Word for Word, chapter for chapter. One is published in the US, one in England. SO DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY BUYING THEM BOTH!!!!
How to help the rider be balanced
The graphics and easy to understand anatomy was helpful.
Love!!!
I love this book! Everyone involved with horses should read it!
The idea
This is a new way to think about ride a horse!
Five Stars
Very well written with a lot of truly useable information.
Five Stars
Excellent book for anyone interested in rider performance.
