Sub-titled: how to Ride in Harmony with Horses
Real Riding offers exciting new ways to approach traditional and natural principles of horsemanship. The emphasis throughout is on employing empathy and understanding and looking at things from the horse's point of view. It sheds new light on common misconceptions, difficulties and contradictions, and the pages are crammed with exercises, simple 'tricks' and things to do that can make a real difference.
Innovative, thought-provoking and fun, this book can be read from cover to cover or dipped into, always to find some priceless insight into an aspect of horsemanship. Perry Wood puts harmony with horses - Real Riding - within the grasp of every rider and brings the art of riding into the twenty-first century.
Excerpts taken from Western Morning News, Friday 13 September 2002.
· A book for the oasis loving generation, or those who have discovered the laid back vibes of Air or Zero Seven, Real Riding - How to Ride in harmony with Horses, packs a punch with the modern rider. One reviewer has said that it has the same kind of hungriness and innocence as when I first heard the sex pistols in 1976.
· It's little wonder that its author Perry Wood, who lives in Exmoor, has become hot property in the equestrian world, especially in this day and age where people reach for self help books at the slightest sign of trauma.
· Using the human and equine psyche, Perry has developed a way of unravelling problems by encouraging both horses and riders to discover how to help themselves, learnt through his own experiences with horses and his uncanny knack of sussing out what's going on in the sometimes fuzzy world that occupies our heads.
· The prelude to the book is one of the most stirring pieces regarding horses I have ever read. Entitled Just Imagine.
· Whilst this book will fit snuggly amongst those other this book will change your life missives, not least because of its funky cover, in time it will become a classic amongst the horse loving populace?..If only horses could read!
