Renowned horseman Gerhard Kapitzke clarifies how establishing an independent seat and allowing the evolution of a common balance, rather than forcing a particular head carriage, will produce a comfortable, happy horse and unhindered lines of communication.
* Descriptions and illustrations of various bridles and bits, and their effects, proper adjustment, an correct use
* A basic training outline for developing a young horse’s head carriage and rein contact, with concentrated work in a cavesson
* A discussion of auxiliary training aids and questionable bits
* Over 100 color photographs provide visual examples of educated rein contact, natural “relative” head and neck carriage, and conscientious training methodology
