Lavishly illustrated with dozens of b/w photos and drawings. Includes a foreward to this edition by Sally Swift, founder of Centered Riding movement; and also the foreword to the first edition, by the late, great American dressage trainer Chuck Grant. Sections are: The Part of Riding No One Talks About; A Training Approach: Beginning a Dialogue with Your Horse; The Movements; afterwards by Mary Daniels; a listing, with photos, of the horses. As Ms. Swift says: "I think after reading Barbier's book you will come away with a renewed desire to connect with your horse. Never forget the importance of the center for unity between horse and rider". All of us seeking to work with, and better connect to our equine partners can learn much from this great book; it's not just about the movements, it's about becoming a true and loving partner to your equine teammate!

Opened my mind!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dressage for the New Age (Prentice Hall Press equestrian books) (Hardcover)
This was my first experience with Dominique Barbier and the French approach to dressage. His presentation of the French theory of lightness and harmony opened my mind. It changed my rigid approach and my horses have been very grateful. From this book I learned that lightness can be achieved without force. His instructions for work in-hand were clear and easy to duplicate on my own. Diagrams and explanations were clear and technical enough without being complicated. I felt this book was easy to read and understand, was presented in a progressive format and just oozed with a sensitivity and a passion for the horse that is not found in similar books. This book is a must read for any serious dressage rider, instructor or trainer.
