The characteristic feature of all outstanding equestrian books is that they encourage the reader to think and ask questions, while at the same time they are very practical.
Paul Belasik, wishing to encourage the reader to think about the art of dressage, uses analogies drawn from various fields of art, science and philosophy, and illustrates his ideas with references to different philosophies. The book Riding on XXI Age will delight and stimulate all those who see more than just a mechanical process in riding.
Paul Belasik proves that considerations on riding rules are necessary and bring benefits, but at the same time stresses that they cannot replace practice. On the contrary, they must be reflected in the action. Riding on XXI The age is unquestionably a book for a thinking reader, and at the same time is a very practical textbook, which discusses all technical issues concerning horse and rider training (starting from working with a young horse and ending with a higher school of driving and figures in the air).
Main issues:
- correct training of a young horse — work on lunge lines and work in hand.
- the fundamental importance of proper boarding.
- the need to understand training as a multilayer system and a coherent process.
- Straightening, contact, impulse.
- working on the basic three steps and related exercises.
- a higher school (haute ecole) and figures in the air.
The text is beautifully illustrated with pictures and drawings, and enriched with thought-enhancing quotes.
