Product Description
Product Description
Since it was first published in 1937, Museler's text on riding and horsemanship has become an international classic. An expert horseman, the author not only provides a wealth of practical knowledge and experience that will help readers attain and maintain the highest level of riding skill, he also offers the theoretical tools that can transform the experienced rider into the classical equestrian ideal: an 'artist on horseback'.Full of all new colour photos as well as the brilliantly clear drawings that first made the original editions so sought after, the book offers sections on perfecting the rider's seat, hands, balance, and use of the back; schooling both the green and trained horse on the flat; introductory exercises on the trail and over fences; and corrective work for various behavioural or training problems. Timeless, insightful, and certain to educate any rider who strives to reach the coveted state of true horse-and-rider harmony.
About the Author
Wilhelm Museler (1887-1952) was a career cavalry officer. During the years preceding the Second World War he competed with great success at dressage and show jumping and was a member of the German Olympic Team. He retired from the army at the end of WWI and concentrated on equestrianism full-time. In 1931, he had health problems and turned to writing. He penned Riding Logic and it was published in 1937 and it went on to be a bestseller in many languages.

Fantastic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Riding Logic (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent book, and explains collection in clear terms. Collection is so often misunderstood as simply bringing the horse's head down into position, instead of learning how to get your horse to shift his weight into his hindquarters, really push with his back end, round his back, and lift his forehand. This book is a must-read for any rider in any discipline, english or otherwise.

Mueseler of the German School writes a useful text in understanding dressage & riding in general. It has long been a classic & should be considered a must-read.

A simple explanation of a difficult sport.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Riding Logic (Hardcover)
This book is super for anyone who truly wants to become a good rider. It has helped me numerous times to understand what my trainer was trying to tell me. A simple, logical explanation is given for the horses' reactions to my actions. I find myself referring to it regularly and understanding something new each time.
