Connect With Your Horse From The Ground Up. Peggy Cummings.
991469
| Transform the way you see, feel and ride with a whole new kind of groundwork from the founder of Connected Riding, Peggy Cummings.

At a young age Peggy Cummings noticed that many horses she rode and worked with were sadly inhibited—unable to express their innate curiosity, trust, and freedom of motion—and went about their work in a mechanical, stiff way. This inspired a lifelong search for real-world ways to achieve the "lightness" and "ease" promoted by top instructors and classical texts.

Now, in this long-awaited book, Cummings describes the essentials of her specialized groundwork—the first half of her acclaimed Connected Riding program—along with over two dozen highly illustrated exercises to help horses and their handlers find a reciprocal "connection" on the ground before attempting to establish it from the more difficult position in the saddle.  These exercises—done both standing still and in motion—drastically change the way you see and feel your horse, and radically improve how your horse moves, responds, and goes about his work.

TheHorseStudio.com review: You and your equine partner will certainly benefit from the more than 40 exercises that Peggy explains here. Utilizing understanding of Linda Tellington-Jones TTouch methods, plus adding more of her own work through the Connected Riding program, Peggy explains details for improvement in behavior, tension release and confidence boosting for both horse and rider. A well though out design and lots of photos throughout make it easy to follow. A great resource for those recovering a horse from mal treatment or trust issues, and very good for working with the young or spoilt horse too.
