for soreness and injury, and develop poor movement patterns. This limits
performance ability, causes unsoundness and health issues, and
ultimately undermines the horse's overall well–being.

Aristotle Ballou has made a name for herself advocating for the horse
and providing sensible instruction in his schooling, conditioning, and
care. Her bestselling books and popular clinics are designed to enable
any horse person to correctly apply proven principles that bring
measurable progress while avoiding boredom and confusion. In her latest
collection of mounted and unmounted corrective exercises, Ballou
demonstrates how we can actively work to improve the horse's posture and
movement, whether
he is an active performance or pleasure mount, an
aging or older horse that benefits from gentle exercise, or one being
rehabilitated following injury, illness, or lack of conditioning.
Ballou's positive cross–training techniques are free of shortcuts, and
her guidelines for analyzing the horse's posture and way of going help
readers gain a new awareness of the equine body. Applicable for all
disciplines, this is an integral collection that optimizes how the horse.
