Beth Baumert''s first book,
When Two Spines Align: Dressage Dynamics, was a popular and critical success. Lauded by Olympian Carl Hester as the book he most frequently quotes at clinics, it examined the ways the physical bodies of horse and rider work together-the physics behind riding in balance. In Baumert''s new book
How Two Minds Meet, she takes us beyond physical harmony to look at the minds of both horse and rider, each complete with its own set of emotions and mental capabilities. Readers will explore:
- How the mind of the horse works.
- The rider''s -two minds--the analytical mind and the sensory dimension of the mind (with which the horse more readily identifies).
- Specific ways to get into the -non-thinking place- where the best communication between horse and rider takes place.
- Principles of Learning that enable riders to improve the use of the traditional, knowledge-accumulating part of their brains. </
