Of course, first and foremost, riding through is a dressage term, something you strive for as you attempt to get your horse on the aids and moving back-to-front. You have achieved it when everything the two of you do together is one fluid motion, the ultimate of coordination and expression, in which the horse is maximizing his assets. It's all about harmony and correctness, summing up the meaning of dressage in a single short phrase. But \"riding through\" has other meanings for me as well. I've learned to ride through hard times, on and off a horse, when I thought about giving up. We all have to learn about riding through, because that's the only way we will arrive at our destination, whatever it may be.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if passage and piaffe aren't your ambition, or you don't want to compete in dressage at any level, the good basic riding skills involved in learning this discipline will help you in whatever you want to do with horses--whether it's improving adjustability for jumping or just having a more pleasurable trail ride. And the challenges will keep you interested while you explore the very special connection that develops between human and horse when you're doing meaningful work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN13::\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781929164356\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePAGES:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7510\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xenophon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":26082279169,"sku":"7510","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1479\/5680\/products\/Debbie_McDonald-Riding_Through.JPG?v=1571439287"},{"product_id":"thinking-riding-1","title":"Thinking Riding Book 1 Training Student Instructors by Molly Sivewright (Gently used copy)","description":"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\"\u003eThinking Riding Book 1 Training Student Instructors by Molly Sivewright \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Xenophon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":26863289345,"sku":"8650","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1479\/5680\/products\/thinkingRIDING1.jpg?v=1571439289"},{"product_id":"thinking-riding-2","title":"Thinking Riding Book 2: \"In Good Form\" by Molly Sivewright (Gently Used copy)","description":"\u003cspan id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\"\u003eThinking Riding Book 2: In Good Form (No.2)\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Xenophon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":26863664961,"sku":"8651","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1479\/5680\/products\/thinkingRIDING2.jpg?v=1571439289"},{"product_id":"ahlerich-making-of-a-dressage-world-champion-gently-used-copy","title":"Ahlerich: Making of a Dressage World Champion (gently used copy)","description":"\u003ch4 class=\"reviews-title\"\u003eAhlerich : the making of a dressage world champion by Reiner Klimke,  translated by Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Xenophon Press","offers":[{"title":"USED with jacket","offer_id":26919541505,"sku":"8626","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used without jacket","offer_id":10359724277796,"sku":"8626noJACKET","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1479\/5680\/products\/ahlerich.jpg?v=1571439289"},{"product_id":"my-dancing-white-horses-the-autobiography-of-alois-podhajsky-hardcover","title":"My Dancing White Horses: The Autobiography of Alois Podhajsky hardcover","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe autobiographpy of colonel Alois Podhajaky Director of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Xenophon Press","offers":[{"title":"with dust jacket","offer_id":46673140842645,"sku":"1002","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"without dust jacket","offer_id":46673140875413,"sku":"1003","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1479\/5680\/files\/s-l1600_bb0fb357-908c-4099-bdfc-b3eccd4814f7.jpg?v=1697223310"},{"product_id":"a-horsemans-notes-hardcover-by-erik-herbermann-gently-used-copy","title":"A Horseman's Notes by Erik Herbermann - Hardcover  (gently used hardcover)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn his uniquely philosophical poetic style, Erik Herbermann, author of the perennial bestseller \"Dressage Formula\", presents the inner workings of classical riding, which will assist every rider to discover the joys of greater harmony with their horse.

Translated from the 1926 edition, this is the foundation stone of any collection of equestrian literature. Pluvinel's \"Le Maneige Royal\" was published posthumously in 1625 in its complete form with beautiful engravings by the Flemish engraver Crispijn van de Passe II, edited by Pluvinel's friend Menou de Charnizay, under its definitive name \"L'Instruction du Roy en l'exercice de monter a cheval\" (\"Teaching the King how to ride a horse\"). Pluvinel is perhaps most well-known for his kind, humane training methods. Pluvinel used praise, careful use of aids, and softer bits (simple curb bits) to get the horse to work with him. He is also known for his extensive use of the pillars in his training of collection and levade. Additionally, he employed the two-track movements, such as shoulder-in, and voltes to supple the horse. His theories include that the horse must take pleasure in work, due to gentle, understanding riding, and that such a horse will move much more gracefully if he enjoys being ridden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN \u003cspan\u003e0851311342\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN:13 \u003cspan\u003e978-0851311340\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detail-bullets\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"productDetails\" id=\"productDetails\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Xenophon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33877278785,"sku":"8729","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1479\/5680\/products\/image_b1c02300-68b9-4ee8-9840-bb38a6330b67.jpg?v=1571439290"},{"product_id":"learning-to-ride-gently-used-copy-1941-edition-by-piero-santini","title":"Learning to Ride gently used copy 1941 edition by Piero Santini","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vintage copy.

Internationally known instructor, coach and judge Charles de Kunffy details a program of exercises that will enable horses at all levels of dressage and combined training to improve their performance as equine athletes. Unlike other dressage books that explain how to exercise a horse in order to ride a standardized test, this book explains how such exercises can and should be used to increase performance ability, suspension, collection and changes of gaits through true patterns and counter patterns that are accompanied by diagrams and demonstration photographs. Those who have attended Charles de Kunffy's clinics know that horses inevitably and rapidly improve under his guidance and that riders themselves improve as well.
