Book Description
The Way to Perfect Horseman is an outstanding work in the vast literature devoted to horseman. It provides, for the first time, a clear insight into the psychological makeup of the horse, its muscular system, the mechanics of its movement, and the aids to human-to-horse communication. Udo Burger presents his philosophy of riding in a scientific manner, erting that no one can no more learn to ride without a knowledge of horse physiology and psychology than one can learn the art of medecine without a background in health and disease. He clearly explains what one should feel and do on horseback–ultimately, as if one is part of the horse, completely united with it in all of its movements. Anyone with a genuine empathy for horses–wether teacher, trainer, competitor, or occasional rider–will benefit enormously from reading this clic work on horseman. The late Udo Burger was an accomplished horseman and one of Germany’s most esteemed equine veterinarians.
