Riding in Release considers the relationship between two significant traditions of riding and horse training - The French Classical School and horsemanship born out of the Vaquero and Buckeroo lineage.

Both traditions are founded on the development of a partnership with a horse, which enables lightness of foot and thought. This book provides useful insights for riders of all levels - whether you want to hack out in harmony or improve your half pass - with clear, practical, step-by-step instructions and advice.

Topics covered include:

  • consideration of the similarities of the traditions and why this is useful for modern riders to understand
  • how horses move, think and feel, and how this knowledge is useful to us
  • foundational handling up to high school - common themes
  • the human side of the partnership - how to make sense to our horse and be someone he wants to learn from and how to help our horse develop a greater ease of movement without the use of gadgets or force.
  • detailed explanations of straightness, balance and dynamic posture along with step-by-step guidance on teaching 'the language of the aids'
  • tapping into your horse's amazing capacity to learn
Finally, the development of good feeling between you and your horse, through logical application that respects a horse's emotional life as well as his physical body is covered.
