The training methods used in this book are based on the Classical Training Pyramid for horses - working up through rhythm, suppleness, contact, impulsion and straightness to collection.
The author combines this with her own 'Mind-body-spirit training building blocks' to address first the riders development, and then the horse's, taking each of these desired attributes and working progressively up the pyramid.
For the rider, it includes working on body fitness and control through the 'Pilates' exercise system; and for the horse, gymnastic work to improve suppleness and balance
