"The book you hold in your hand unravels the mystery of becoming one with your horse. Mary's many years of experience working with and watching every kind of rider from the beginner to the Olympian is distilled into this beautiful, practical, and comprehensive book for the rider who wants to inhabit that connection, that love, between human and animal is a personal pleasure to see the "Anatomy Trains" scheme extended so beautifully, practically, and accurately beyond where I ever imagined it could go." --Thomas W. Myers, Creator and Author of Anatomy Trains "Approachable, easy to understand, and well-illustrated. Wanless' suggestions and training tools can be used both by trainers and teachers as well as individual equestrians." --Horse Nation "A painstaking virtual dissection of the rider's physical weaknesses, imbalances, and poor movement habits, coupled with exercises and Centered Riding-style imagery, to help you straighten yourself out." --U.S. Dressage Federation Connection
