serious horsemen looking to improve equestiran sport ' This year
Dr. Heuschmann has released his follow-up book, Collection of
Contortion? a critical examination of two concepts—flexation
and bend—that are necessary to understand in absolute terms when
the goal is to achieve collection on horseback." Warmbloods Today
