In her new book, Anja Beran, one of the most highly regarded representatives of classical dressage, answers this question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAfter years of observing the dressage world, Anja Beran opens the reader’s eyes. Through the analysis of striking photographic sequences, she contrasts obvious training errors and undesirable developments with movement studies that illustrate horse-friendly, correct training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe problem lies within the system itself: the training of horses is increasingly adapted to the desire for spectacular performances rather than to the horses’ well-being, which should be the foundation for a long, healthy future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eMany riders fall victim to the misconception that the proper path of training can be shortened. In doing so, they often fail to consider the physical and psychological strain to which their horses are subjected. The result is the development of movement patterns that frequently bear little resemblance to the horse’s natural gaits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis book not only exposes these misguided approaches but also offers practical solutions for horse-friendly training that respects the horse’s nature, welfare, and long-term soundness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnja Beran\u003c\/b\u003e, shown here beside one of her oldest schoolmasters, operates \u003cb\u003eGut Rosenhof\u003c\/b\u003e in Bidingen, Bavaria—an internationally renowned training center for horses of all breeds and for their owners from both Germany and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eDrawing upon the writings of the Old Masters, her equestrian education in Portugal, and more than 35 years of accumulated practical experience, she seeks to present this knowledge in a contemporary and accessible manner through lectures, clinics, workshops, and training courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xenophon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47465554182293,"sku":"XEN-ANJAtrainingTHEeye","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1479\/5680\/files\/beran-buch-blickschulung-595x670.jpg?v=1781817881","url":"https:\/\/xenophonpress.com\/products\/training-the-eye-recognizing-horse-friendly-training-by-anja-beran","provider":"Xenophon Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
