Mark Russell learned the concept of riding in lightness from the legendary Portuguese dressage master Nuno Oliveira. These time-honored methods unleash the horse’s true movement without either driving force (the rider’s legs) or holding restraints (the rider’s hands). Russell’s easy to understand step-by –step program shows how riders at every level and in any discipline can balance their horse in lightness. You’ll learn:
  • How to teach your horse to release inner tension
  • How to develop your horse gymnastically to facilitate relaxation, create flexibility, and build strength
  • How to school your horse in hand and how to ride all the lateral movements
  • How to build engagement for advanced work
