Every rider would like to ride their horse as well as possible. But how should that be done? This book explains why and, above all, how it should be done according to the classical principles. In this context every horse is to be observed according to its own individual merits. Where does it have problem? How does it manifest its natural crookedness? What about its character?

According to the classical principles, a suitable strategy can be found to suit every horse and bring it into balance. Anja Beran aims to preserve this knowledge, which today is on the verge of extinction, and make it available in practical and understandable form to every interested rider. She discusses the movements and describes to work on them. Subsequently she provides detailed explanation of potential problems in connection with the movements, and also what can be done to solve them.
