In For the Good of the Rider, Mary Wanless conveys, with numerous illustrations and diagrams, the 'how' of riding - so allowing the rider to understand, and therefore make use of, the biomechanical principles that underpin good riding at every level.
Riders discover how to understand the biomechanics of riding, how to overcome training blocks, how to 'plug in' and connect with their horse, how to improve their riding position, how to ride in a state of 'flow', how to bring the horse into self-carriage, how to overcome nervousness, how to become more flexible and supple, how to achieve harmony with their horse - and how to bring joy into their riding.
Chapters on learning, sports psychology, dismounted exercises and bodywork expand the ideas put forward in her world-famous earlier books, Ride with Your Mind and Ride with Your Mind: Masterclass, and For the Good of the Horse, dissolving mysteries of talent and showing how the classical principles of riding can be made much more accessible to twenty-first century riders.
Mary Wanless is based near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, and runs courses in the UK and USA.
