Synopsis
The best things often come in little packages and big, as we learn to our cost, is not necessarily or even frequently, beautiful. This is a thoughtful, indeed even empirical study of the classical seat, and in it she exceeds the work of past mentors... Her polite correction of the ugly German braced back position and her preference for the more elegant and far lighter French and Latin interpretation is refreshing and indeed, long overdue. The exposition of the back influence was masterly the explanations and supporting diagrams of the pelvic influence and that of the seat bones is no less so. Finally, there is the emphasis on the hand, with expressed opinion that 'today, less emphasis appears to be placed on how the hands are used'. Currently in its 6th edition, this best selling paperback deals in-depth with correct posture, and how and how not to use the seat and back as aids. Leg, hand and weight aids for forward and lateral work are discussed generally. If you think you can ride, you may be surprised how this book will change your life. A must for all dressage riders, no matter how experienced!

Synopsis
The essence of classical riding is being "at one" and in tune with the horse. It is not mystical or complex, and is open to all riders who wish to improve their own and their horse's performance. No rider - whatever level they are at - should feel it is beyond them. In "The Classical Seat - a Guide for the Everyday Rider", Sylvia Loch shows how all riders can attain a correct (and hence, safe) classical seat - one that is deep, balanced and sensitive, and gives maximum control.
