This manual presents a "map" of riding and explains its basic biomechanical principles. Mary Wanless asserts that behind the art of riding lies a science, which has laws of cause and effect. Utilizing these laws turns the rider's body into a sophisticated tool for influencing the horse, allowing her to mimic the techniques which talented riders use unknowingly. There are vignettes which tell stories of riders she has taught world-wide, from relative novices to international competitors. Chapters on learning, sports psychology, dismounted exercises and bodywork expand the ideas put forward in "Ride With Your Mind" and "Masterclass".

This was my first introduction to Mary Wanless books. It is very in depth. The first part is about psychology and can be skipped if you want. The rest of the book is very good. I read all of Mary's books with a highlighter because they are study guides, not just information books. I do suggest you have an instructor that teaches Mary's way in order for this book to make more sense. For an introduction into Mary's riding I would suggest going with her books "Essentials" and "The Clinic" first.
