Our comprehensive guide on breeding, feeding and animal husbandry Many horse owners dream of having a foal from their own mare. However, irrespective of the delights associated with this experience, the pregnancy of the mare and the growth of the foal demand a high degree of care, patience and knowledge. This practical manual provides a comprehensive guide on the subjects of breeding, feeding and husbandry of a mare and foal for the private horse owner. The reader will find all the necessary information about covering the mare, correct feeding during the late pregnancy and lactating period, the birth of the foal as well as the appropriate care of the foal.

Your First Foal

The riding aids are the medium through which the rider's wishes must be expressed. The author explains the elementary terms of the rider's aids in easily understood terms, starting with the relaxed, balanced seat which forms the basis of all riding. Natural aids using the weight of the body as well as legs and hands are initially explained individually, then shown in practical co-ordination: How do I bring my horse to a halt? How do I change from the trot to the walk, from the walk to the canter?

The Riding Aids

Egon von Neindorff dedicated his life to the knowledge and promotion of the classical art of riding. He never wanted to be a reformist but purely an interpreter. He truly understood the philosophy of classical riding and was therefore able to teach his numerous national and international students to develop their own style. The essence of classical dressage requires a deep affection for the horse, understanding, sensitivity, humility and devotion. In this book, von Neindorff illustrates in more than thirty chapters his profound understanding of the natural training of horses. It encompasses a body of knowledge, which was previously only taught at his riding establishment in Karlsruhe, Germany. Translated into English by Melissa Simms.

The Art of Classical Horsemanship

The rider's aids are the be-all and end-all of riding. Without them, no understanding or communication with the horse is possible. The aids must be conveyed to the horse both clearly and distinctly, and yet unobtrusively: as fine aids. How to learn and employ these aids is dealt with in this concise guidebook in plain, easy to understand terms, amply supported by clear illustrations.

Rider's Aids

Does the rider really always have to be "dominant" over the horse? Do we need dominance training? In this book, behavioural biologist Marlitt Wendt debunks the widely-held and incorrect belief in the dominance theory and presents the scientifically well-founded friendship concept as a horse-friendly alternative.

Trust Instead of Dominance

“Long Reining is so much fun that it is easy to get hooked on it. It trains the rider's eyes and tact by adding a visual impression to the sense of touch and vice versa.” Dr. Thomas Ritter It is no wonder that more and more riders are discovering the old tradition of long reining for themselves. It helps the horse to improve his balance and ability to collect without the weight of the rider, and it lends itself well to training difficult movements in a horse friendly manner. Dr. Thomas Ritter explains the correct aids from the beginning through Haute École in practical terms. Thanks to the discussion of frequent mistakes and their corrections, long reining novices and experienced trainers alike can find much new information here. The author's passion and enthusiasm for long reining are evident throughout. Many helpful tips invite you to experiment!

Long Reining

This book thoroughly covers with all aspects of bitless bridles in general and specifically with bitless riding. The author focuses on giving the reader a general overview of the range of bitless bridles available and the purpose and function of each of these. The main part of the book however deals with the subject of riding without a bit including an extensive discussion of many of the preconceptions surrounding bitless riding. Individual exercises are explained in detail with reference to both the biomechanics of riding and classical riding methods, clearly setting out the advantages of riding with a bit. This book is an all-round guide for anyone wanting to find out more about the subject of bitless riding.

Riding without a bit

The knowledge of the old masters - presented in an accessible way. The secrets of classical riding. Analysed for the first time and accompanied by many practical examples, ancient knowledge is presented here in a modern way. Almost forgotten, yet essential riding methods, such as the Bügeltritt (the position of the rider's foot in the stirrup) or ridden work with a cavesson are described in detail.

Dressage Principles based on Biomechanics

Dressage involves drawing out the natural capability of the horse and shaping it into something beautiful and expressive. The horse must learn how to balance under the rider and move in elegant self-carriage. When the rider has adopted a balanced seat, then the time is right to start the first dressage steps that will lead to a disciplined and flexible horse. The author describes lessons in serpentines, half halt, basic paces with lengthening and leg-yielding.

First Steps in Dressage

How do I learn the correct seat? Often, riders are forced into a posture which they are unable to master due to physical problems alone. The consequence is tension in the rider and horse. In this guide, the author describes, with the help of numerous exercises, how the rider can find his or her individual path to a balanced seat, to more delicate aids, and to a better communication with the horse.

The Correct Seat

This saying applies equally to horses. Intended for the horse owner who wishes to keep his horse fit and healthy for as long as possible, this book offers an abundance of invaluable advice and recommendations - including a feeding programme, massages for the well-being of the horse, as well as age-related exercises on the ground and under the saddle. From the contents: Signs of ageing: at what stage in its life does the horse become old? Feeding older horses: the higher standard of feeding required by the senior horse. Caring for older horses: how old horses like to be kept. Massages: a wellness programme for the oldie. Exercise: fun gymnastics for senior horses. And a subject which no owner likes to think about but which needs to be included: preparation for the last farewell.

Caring for the Older Horse

Take a glimpse of the world seen from a horse's point of view This is a fascinating journey into the emotional world seen from a horse's point of view. Thoroughly researched and presented, this book introduces the reader to the language of horses, to their astonishing mental capabilities and their deepest emotions. The information provided offers a good basis for horse owners to learn how to relate better to their horses, to develop a more harmonious relationship to their horses and to school their horses without using force but in a positive, pro-active way. Written in an accessible, sometimes light-hearted way from a practical point of view, the author succeeds in bridging the gap between science and the daily experience of everybody dealing with horses.

How Horses Feel and Think

In this book, Philippe Karl, one of the most outspoken critics of the modern dressage world, reveals some disturbing facts about the physical, anatomical and mental effects through official dressage guidelines as issued by the German Horse Society (FN) on horses. By comparing these with philosophies of masters of classical riding such as La Gueriniere and Baucher, he shows possible solutions to the challenging situation of modern competitive dressage.

Twisted Truths of Modern Dressage

Work on the lunge is important for the education and training of young horses, as well as the gymnastic development of the older horse. While lungeing can look easy from the outside, this is not necessarily the case; correct lungeing has to be learnt. For instance, the choice of equipment, where the trainer should be in relation to the horse, and the safety aspect for both horse and trainer - all these are vital considerations. This guide is for all horse lovers who want to learn the correct way to lunge a horse. Using clear and easy terms, this guide is an invaluable reference book for anyone wishing to know more and putting this invaluable training technique into practice.

Lungeing

Working over poles is the first stage in starting your horse to jump, as well as being the ideal way to train your horse to be obedient and supple in his flatwork. Horses will become more attentive and eager to learn; at the same time, they will be strengthening their back muscles. Schooling over poles will help both horse and rider in equal measure. This book offers practical advice to ensure that the first steps in jumping are successful ones.

From Flatwork to Jumping

It is a magical moment when horse and owner really understand each other for the first time. Positive horse training using clicker and target combines the benefits of a communicative relationship with an effective training method. It is the horse-friendly alternative to the very common coercive methods where dominance and submission prevail. In this book, behavioral biologist Marlitt Wendt explains the mechanisms of reward learning in a practical way, based on the findings of modern equine learning psychology.

A quiet word with your horse

Submission and suppleness, rhythm, contact and collection are some of the basic elements that make up a horse's training and which all riders need to come to grips with. But what do they actually mean, and what is their order of priority? This book gives a clear description of how a structured schooling programme can be put together and what importance should be given to each of the individual components of training.
