SynopsisOlympic medalist Debbie McDonald and her fabulous partner, Brentina, have thrilled crowds the world over with their stunning performances. In her new book, Riding Through, Debbie describes her system for success in dressage and relates her life story: "There is more than one reason that I call this book Riding Through. Of course, first and foremost, riding through is a dressage term, something you strive for as you attempt to get your horse on the aids and moving back-to-front. You have achieved it when everything the two of you do together is one fluid motion, the ultimate of coordination and expression, in which the horse is maximizing his assets. It's all about harmony and correctness, summing up the meaning of dressage in a single short phrase. But "riding through" has other meanings for me as well. I've learned to ride through hard times, on and off a horse, when I thought about giving up. We all have to learn about riding through, because that's the only way we will arrive at our destination, whatever it may be.", Olympic medalist Debbie McDonald and her fabulous partner, Brentina, have thrilled crowds the world over with their stunning performances.

A combination of biographical stories and the finer details of Debbie MacDonald’s dressage technique
I’m really enjoying the mix of biography and dressage instruction in this book! Debbie MacDonald tells her life story with horse and in the sport of dressage, alongside some very detailed descriptions of movements plus exercises to develop horse and rider in the dressage arena. It is suitable from beginner up to advanced. Most suited to someone who has some riding experience and is keen to begin dressage. But it also has the high level movements to broken down and explains Debbie’s training approach for each; do it is a very useful book for experienced dressage enthusiasts!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
