Description Most riders concentrate endless hours on their horses: warming them up; improving their strength and stamina with gymnastic exercises; cultivating specialized diets to keep them in peak condition; and ensuring that through proper turn-out, time off, and companionship, making sure they remain psychologically content. What is often forgotten is that the horse is only one-half of an athletic partnership. The rider's own physical and mental fitness affects the end performance of the team, and warming up, conditioning, diet, and psychological stability apply to them, as well. In this highly illustrated book, you will find a sport-specific, personal training guide to help equestrians of any age, ability or discipline become physically and mentally fit to ride. By improving your body and mind on the ground, you will discover that you can better perform when on a horse. Daniel Stewart grew up riding both jumpers and dressage horses. He travels internationally, conducting unmounted and mounted rider biomechanics and fitness training seminars, and he is a coach for the United States Endurance Team and Paralympic Dressage Squad. He lives in Santa Barbara, California, and Cadiz, Spain. 8 x 10, 170 color photos, 25 b/w illustrations, Paperback Read an excerpt from this book on EquiSearch.com: Ride Right with Daniel Stewart
