Soft, Round & Bitless : How to Train or Transition Your Horse for Competition or Pleasure – Ali Kermeen

Detailní popis produktu

Can a horse develop softness, balance and an athletic frame without a bit?

In Soft, Round & Bitless, trainer Ali Kermeen explores how thoughtful training can help horses become responsive, balanced and comfortable without relying on equipment to create control or a particular outline.

The book begins on the ground, establishing the communication and skills needed before progressing to ridden work. Kermeen then looks at different types of bitless bridles, how they function and how to choose and fit equipment appropriately for the individual horse.

Progressive exercises help riders transfer the foundations established on the ground into the saddle, with an emphasis on balance, self-carriage, responsiveness and clear communication.

Importantly, this is not an argument that every horse should be ridden bitless. Kermeen acknowledges that bitless equipment can also be severe and encourages riders to consider the individual horse, its comfort and its response when choosing equipment.

The result is a practical training guide not only for riders who want to transition to bitless riding, but also for anyone interested in becoming less dependent on equipment and more attentive to the quality of their training.

A useful resource for riders interested in bitless riding, groundwork, self-carriage, thoughtful horsemanship and horse-centred training.

Tohle odpovídá konceptu knihy, ale text je náš, nikoli přepsaná anotace vydavatele. Trafalgar potvrzuje zaměření na groundwork, výběr a fitting bitless uzdeček a následné ridden exercises.
