New Edition! Updated and
Revised!
The
new FEI rules regarding Piaffe and Passage lay greater weight on these
movements as well as transitions between the two, so it is of utmost importance
to perform them well.
This
is a book that is drawn on over forty years of experience and is solely dedicated
to explaining the difficult Grand Prix dressage movements of Piaffe, Passage and Work in Hand. On
almost one hundred pages this book explains comprehensively the several
possible approaches to Piaffe and Passage.
Piaffe, Passage and Work
in Hand
guides you on what is correct, how to begin so the horse will be capable of
understanding and thus performs correctly. It shows the causes of common faults
and training deficiencies, how to avoid or once done, how to correct them. The
main object is the correct approach through the understanding of bio-mechanics
as well as physics (dynamical weight distribution). It is explained how the
systematic work from beginning on Hand through Piaffe to all different
transitions in Piaffe and Passage leads to success.
Piaffe, Passage and Work
in Hand
was first published in 2002 in Germany
and because of the feedback from my fellow trainers, international and national
dressage riders, I decided to publish this book in English and therefore make
it available to a larger dressage audience. I added more text as well as more pictures
and graphics for a better understanding.
