American international dressage rider Heather Blitz serves as the model to illustrate brilliant biomechanics, in walk, trot and canter, as well as the advanced movements. Then lessons with a number of riders at different levels show the changes they make as they take the next steps in their learning, discovering how to produce similar patterns in their bodies, and changing their horses in the process.

The shorter, simplified, colour illustrated version, designed to help you teach yourself, with sections on common starting points, 'the fix', and self-tests. These are coupled with advice on troubleshooting, and helpful dismounted exercises.

This is the thesis I wrote for my BSc. honours Degree in Applied Sports Coaching. I videoed 2 Olympic dressage riders working 6 year old horses, whilst repeatedly asking them 'What are you paying attention to now?'. I transcribed their answers, and considered them under a number of headings which shed light on how these riders think. I find this a very interesting piece of work; it is written in a rather academic style, but as long as you can bear with this, there is some fascinating and unexpected information here.
