Title: Far Too Obtuse
Review: I am an advanced adult rider who is looking to refine the aids used in dressage. I found this book far to obtuse and inflated with 'chat' to be useful. The author expresses ideas such as 'lifting with the thighs' and 'bearing down', and certainly it is understood that there should be muscle tone and activity in these areas of the body. However, beyond expressing anecdotes of the miracles created by using these muscles there are no solid explainations. The promise of biomechanics leaves one to believe there will be explicit detail but instead the descriptions are more poetic. I lost patience halfway through the book.
