Kottas about dressage is a book that is acclaimed in the equestrian world of a prominent trainer, showing the philosophy and principles of a classical driving school.
The author emphasizes the need to develop a proper seat and to understand the principles of assistance. He stresses the importance of establishing a close relationship with the horse and respecting its physical abilities. It reveals to the reader subsequent stages of the art of dressage - from working in basic legs to piaff and passage. It discusses many of the problems that arise during training and presents various suggestions for solving them. The recommendations and guidelines are all the more valuable because supported by the author's many years of experience. “I always see a partner in a horse” this statement is at the heart of Arthur Kottas’ philosophy. That's probably why in his work with all sorts of horses, he has such wonderful results.
This book is a great reading for people who want to learn the principles of classical dressage and train their horses to achieve lightness and harmony.
A coherent and comprehensive lecture by one of the world's most recognized trainers, richly illustrated by photographs and instructions of the author.
Lecture recommended by British Horse Society.
The bookshelfs bend under the weight of equestrian books. What can you do when choosing? For me, the decisive thing is the substantive value. The good book combines the author's many years of experience with the achievements of science in animal psychology and movement mechanics. This is Arthur Kottas's book - full of clear instructions, but not loaded with unnecessary information. Anyone who wants to effectively train and use a horse in sports or recreation should buy it and read it carefully.
