Thank you for such an incredible, impeccable, brilliant and exquisite magazine. I can't believe how fortunate I am to have met you, and have you introduce me to your beautiful work of art

I think you site is brilliant

This has to be one of our best "how to" editions ever. Starting with How to Achieve Success with the Counter Shoulder-In with Anja Beran. Read how you can have far more success when you add this exercise to your training! And why you might want to introduce counter shoulder-in long before you try to ride the shoulder in on your horses. Find out "why" the shoulder in can be so important in straightening your horses.

Then continue with the excellent article on "How do you get your horse to Stretch Properly?" This exciting article introduces and answers What is the Right Stretch for Your Horses! Also find out the right and wrong rein effects to use when stretching your horses!

Perhaps you are more interested in discovering how to find release in your upper body to find a kinder, softer hand for your horse? Join us as we continue our new series that began last month with two new articles this month to get you started off, in our Exercise for Success exercise program for riders! Low impact, easy to do for any fitness level, an exercise program that helps isolate particular movements that are designed to help you become a better rider! Focusing on range of movement in all three dimensions. It will also help you discover your seat in a way that you never have before, especially our second article this month The Pelvic Scoop.

There is more, of course, from how do you know when is the right time to start training - to how do you really know if horse shoes are really necessary from a rider who experienced both Saumur and the Spanish Riding School.

We are excited to offer our readers a new occasional series from Susan Medenica a former contributor to Dressage &CT with exclusive excerpts of her book The Way of the Horse. We are especially happy to be able to make available this difficult to find text, which the USDF called "..unapologetically classical" and Dressage Today called "..A Guide For Transformation.." finally available through Horses For LIFE!

Find out from Walter Zettl about the new book he is working on and the requirements of competitors that was required in his day that he believes no competition horse today could pass. Is it time to see a return to the past?

Read what Eleanor Russell learned from Nuno Oliveira to do when it just wasn't working and her struggles to get Nuno heard in his own voice.
