Ride with Your Mind: A Right Brain Approach to Riding

4/5 ( ratings)

Using techniques based on visualisation, imagery and the 'Inner Game' approach, Mary Wanless has devised a unique system which enables the rider to develop body awareness and 'feel' by reducing the influence of the logical, critical left brain and developing the generally under-used intuitive, perceptive right brain, so that both beginners and experienced riders can rapidly attain a degree of skill which defies traditional expectations. By concentrating on what 'is' rather than what 'ought to be', she suggests solutions to problems based on an understanding of the body-mind learning process which comes from areas such as Zen philosophy, the martial arts and sports psychology which are outside traditional riding dogma. With clear explanations and illustrations, anecdotes, analogies and unique sections on imagery and questions to test awareness of the reader's own reactions and progress, this book will be an invaluable addition to the library of anybody seeking to achieve harmony with the horse, leading to increased excitement in learning and some quite dramatic discoveries.
