Originally published in German and previously published in English as the Anatomy of Riding, this new translation of the classic work provides riders with the anatomical basis for correct riding. Working from this anatomical perspective, the authors, who in addition to being father and son are both medical doctors, discuss the individual requirements of riding theory. Many of their conclusions may seem surprising to some readers, such as the notion that it is physically impossible to "brace the lower back" as we are so often advised by instructors. A fascinating work, not to be missed by serious riders. Required Reading for the United States Dressage Federation's Instructor Certification Program.

A classic must have!!,
By
This review is from: Anatomy of Dressage (Paperback)
A classic book on dressage. It gives the reader an in depth look at how to effectively ride a dressage horse through the insights of the human anatomy. I've learned more about the fine details of dressage through this book than years of riding lessons!!! The vocabulary can be technical at times but push on and the end rewards will be well worth it.

Medeical analysis of Müsseler,
By
This review is from: Anatomy of Dressage (Paperback)
The book Reitlehre from Müseler, Parey, 1936 has been the most influential cornerstone under horse riding in western europe. It is thé foundadation under the dressage seat and -teaching and every rider should have studied or study it.
Müseler explains the seat of the rider and his perception of human anatomy leads to confusing vocabulary. The Schusdziarras analyse what Müseler writes, compair it with human anatomy and make a sound translation of Müseler intentions to correct modern language. As they analyse the human anatomy they also treat with the difference between male and female anatomy, thus putting the finger on a problem that seems to be universal with women riders. The ónly mistake in the thinking concerns the stirrups. The Schusdziarras stop their analyse with accepting the incorrect combination open stirrup/demanded foot carriage. The thinking reader however can easily work this out for him-/herself as the foundation is all there. The work has sóme fame in German and has contributed to p.e. the development of the thinking by S.G.Solinski and Dr.N.Nicholson, but for the most part is one of those unknown jewels. I think this book is one of the múst-reads for all trainers and also for riders who seek root information for understanding. It is thé golden standard for a proper seat in any riding style, or as King Duarte would have put it: for Bem Cavalgar em toda sella.
