The Rider's Balance: Understanding the Weight Aids in Pictures – Sylvia Loch

"This is a much-needed book on the Weight Aids which should be close to the heart of all who teach and coach riding." - Patrick Print OBE FBHS

This book is designed for riders of all abilities from the novice to the most advanced. World-renowned classical riding expert Sylvia Loch teaches through illustrations and detailed photos how each tiny shift of the rider's weight will affect the horse's balance. The weight aids are generally taught only to higher level students especially those learning the more advanced skills. Yet, by including them from the beginning, novice riders will develop a much greater understanding of their own bodies and abilities, and those of the horse from day one.
