Centered Riding

Using vivid, highly imaginative images, this revolutionary—now classic—book enables every equestrian to reassess habitual responses, ride in natural positions, and break through frustrating plateaus. Widely known for her innovative teaching philosophy stressing body awareness, the value of "soft eyes," proper breathing, centering, and "building blocks" i.e. balance, Sally Swift was a pioneering riding instructor for half a century. Her methods enable horse and rider to achieve harmony, working together naturally.
