The Horse in Positive Tension

An illustrated study of the biomechanics of horse-and-rider movement like no other. In these pages, physical therapist and equine movement specialist Stefan Stammer uses a startlingly unique collection of colour illustrations to make movement patterns in the horse visible to the human eye, in order to help riders better understand the principles of energy and motion happening within the horse. By forming new mental images for the rider, Stammer's goal is to profoundly impact the rider's daily work with her horse so that it is harder for her to make common mistakes or interfere with the horse's natural mechanisms.
