The second section looks at how the horse moves from bending to jumping to working in an outline, this basic understanding should be very beneficial in riding, training, analysing ways of going, improving performance and caring for your horse.
The final section suggests ways in which the rider can keep the horse moving freely, paying particular attention to the musculoskeletal system. It contains a wealth of practical advice on how to maintain the horses condition for optimum performance.
