Connect with Your Horse from the Ground Up

Publisher: Trafalgar Square
Format: Hardcover
Author: Peggy Cummings
Author Notes: Peggy Cummings has been riding since the age of 9 and has developed this system of riding and training over a life time of learning from people and horses. “Connected Riding® is a holistic approach to classical riding principles that bio-mechanically enhances freedom of movement for the performance, health and longevity of both horse and rider. In order for there to be self-carriage, flow, and brilliance in a horse’s movement, a horse must be allowed to release at the poll, lift the back and withers, telescope the neck and push through from the hindquarters in each stride. The rider, whether working in hand from the ground or riding, must be free in the joints to balance and receive the horse’s motion without bracing or blocking the movement. The techniques of Connected Riding® show riders how to find the place where the body can automatically rebalance itself while influencing and moving with the horse’s motion.”
