"I love this book! My Swedish Warmblood mare needs to build core strength. I found the exercises to not only work to do that, my mare actually enjoys them! They have improved her flexibility, and since she seems to find them relaxing, I think it has improve our bond as well. I highly recommend this book!" -- Elite Equestrian "If you want a full arsenal of flatwork exercises to help keep your horse strong and loose, check out Core Conditioning for Horses. I have ridden with a Charles de Kunffy protege for years, so this book piggybacked perfectly off of his concept of dressage as a way to "gymnasticize" the horse's body. The goal of flatwork should always be to make the horse stronger and more supple, and this book includes plenty of exercises (and pictures) to get you there. There are even suggestions for things to try for horses with kissing spines, for example. None of the work is particularly difficult to understand, so any semi-competent rider should be able to get something useful from it. Think of it as being kinda like yoga for horses.

I look forward to enacting the exercise plan with my horse and foresee a lot of arena dirt ground into the binding of my copy, as I'll need it with me for a reference while I ride." -- Horse Nation "This informative book is helpful, not onlyfrom a practical point of view but from a philosophical one, to guide horseowners in the best course of action as it relates to their horses' individualneeds. For riders focused on a quality core conditioning program, CoreConditioning for Horses is an ideal addition to their library." -- HorseJournals "Whether you have a horse that is tense, stiff or has been diagnosed with a back problem, or you simply want to expand your knowledge of your horse's anatomy and add fresh training methods to your toolkit, this book is worth every penny. I think it should be on every horse owner's book shelf or kindle." -- Horse & Hound Magazine.
