The Competitive Edge III: Gravity, Balance and Kinetics of Horse and Rider - Gahwyler

One of this country's most beloved teachers and clinicians is back in this delightful exploration of issues of gravity, balance and kinetics as applied to riding. "Dr. Max" makes the physics of riding understandable and —- dare we say it -— interesting! Included is a both illuminating and provocative discussion of aspects of female and male anatomy, particularly as related to the rider's seat and to saddle design itself, which alone is worth the cost of the book. As in the earlier works, Patty Naegeli's charming cartoons illustrate the book. For those who already know Max Gahwyler's work and those just meeting this popular figure, The Competitive Edge III is not to be missed.
