Developing Softness in the Rider, Mark Rashid

In this DVD, Mark discusses the difference between softness and lightness in both horse and rider. He also demonstrates several martial arts-based, unmounted exercises in which riders can help develop softness in themselves and then present that softness to their horse. He goes on to demonstrate the effect a rider’s softness can have in communication with the horse, and then presents some practical applications of the information presented, such as working with cattle, cueless transitions, and the effects tightening certain muscle groups in the rider can have on the horse’s movement.
