Longeing the Rider for a Perfect Seat: A How-to Guide for Riders, Instructors, and Longeurs - Softcover
In this detailed guide and exercise book, riders, instructors, and longeurs are given the nuts-and-bolts of rider longeing—how to choose longe horses, outfit them correctly, cue them with stance and longe whip, structure a rider-longeing session at various stages of seat development, and maximize learning and rider recall while avoiding common pitfalls. By combining traditional mounted exercises with yoga, conscious breath work, and hands-on bodywork, this unique rider-longeing program helps the rider create a personal balance that leads to a deeper connection with the horse while at the same time develop a stable, correct, elegant, independent seat. The 46 exercises for the midsection, upper, and lower body are accessible for riders at any level and will help them achieve riding goals while preserving their horses well-being.
