Description
In this highly illustrated, comprehensive book, Dr. Harman reveals that 75 percent of horses that are chronically stiff, crooked, resistant, or disagreeable are reacting to back pain caused by an ill-fitting saddle. The reader is introduced to the factors that must be considered when searching for a saddle-numerous elements of horse and rider conformation and saddle construction-and painstakingly walked through the process of determining how the function of the horse's back, and the competence of the rider's seat are affected by them. It is made astoundingly clear that the results of conscientious saddle fitting are a horse that performs eagerly and moves freely, and a rider who finds it easy to correct her position, communicate her aids, and sit on her horse in a relaxed and balanced manner.
Dr. Harman includes a thorough chapter on caring for the horse's back, with information on holistic therapies and tips for changing potentially problematic management practices. Dr. Joyce Harman is a veterinarian and respected saddle-fitting expert. She has been certified in veterinary acupuncture for fourteen years and veterinary chiropractic for a decade and is trained in homeopathy and herbal medicine. She has owned and operated Harmany Equine Clinic, a holistic veterinary practice in Washington, Virginia, since 1990. 8 1/2 x 9, 170 color photos, 125 line drawings, paperback | |
