TRAINING THE EYE:
Recognizing Horse-Friendly Training – Anja Beran

Detailní popis produktu

Developing an educated eye is one of the most valuable skills any rider or trainer can acquire.

In Training the Eye: Recognizing Horse-Friendly Training, internationally respected classical dressage trainer Anja Beran explores how to distinguish correct, horse-friendly training from movement patterns that compromise the horse's health, balance, and long-term soundness.

Using clear explanations, detailed movement analysis, photographs, and specially created illustrations based on real horses, Beran demonstrates how correct biomechanics should look—and how to recognize common mistakes that have become increasingly accepted in modern dressage. Drawing on the principles of the classical masters as well as established riding guidelines, she encourages readers to evaluate training with a critical yet educated perspective.

Rather than focusing on competition results, this book emphasizes the horse's physical and mental well-being. Readers learn to observe posture, balance, self-carriage, rhythm, and the quality of movement, gaining practical tools to assess whether training truly supports the horse's development.

Whether you are a rider, trainer, instructor, judge, or dedicated horse owner, Training the Eye will help you develop the observational skills needed to recognize harmonious, ethical, and horse-friendly training—making it an invaluable resource for anyone committed to classical horsemanship and equine welfare.
