Product Description
Book Description
A remarkable illustrated work on the art of dressage by a modern–day master, featuring a lavish selection of color photos and drawings.
From the Publisher
This major, eagerly–awaited work from Paul Belasik combines modern, innovative thought with an unshakeable belief in the timeless, layered progression of the classical system of training horses. While it deals comprehensively with all the technical aspects of training, from breaking to the most advanced movements, the book also offers many examples of the author’s philosophy: to view riding and training essentially as an art form, to be practiced and celebrated for its own sake. Dressage for the 21st Century is a truly inspirational, thought–provoking book from an emerging modern–day master of horsemanship. Paul Belasik has already gained a large and appreciative international following from the publication of his trilogy, Riding Towards the Light, Exploring Dressage Technique, and The Songs of Horses. He lives and trains at his farm in Pennsylvania.

For Professionals!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dressage for the 21st Century (Hardcover)
It is defenetly a great book, very philosophical one. However, I won't recommend it for beginner dressage riders.It lacks the simple practical riding instructions and tips, But still is a great book.

A long-awaited complement to Belasik's trilogy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dressage for the 21st Century (Hardcover)
This is the most technical book that Belasik has published to date, and it provides a visual counterpart to his outstanding audiotape series. The pictures are particularly useful; the best of them bravely show the master in the "bad" moments-- hanging on the inside rein, for instance. These pictures assist the rider in recognizing the fool's gold that feels like bend but is weakness; I return to the mirrors in my own school equipped with brutal honesty. His descriptions of the logical progression of training will help any rider to comprehend her progress with a young horse, or her relationship with a schooled horse. Although this book is a more technical treatise than Riding Toward the Light or Songs of Horses, it shows the same poetic voice that makes those books so memorable. In my humble opinion, this book-- in combination with the audiotapes-- is the best book to educate the rider about the purest principles of riding integrated with the practical means of achieving them.
