A wakeupcall of a followup from the bestselling author of Tug of War: Classical versus Modern Dressage.In no uncertain terms, this book asks what it means to be a responsible rider, and whether, in todays society, it is indeed possible for equestrians in any horse sport to put the good of the horse first and foremost, and above ambition and fame.With vibrantly clear illustrations of the horses anatomy and how it is impacted by various riding techniques, Balancing Act presents proof that, although some steps have been taken to prevent the use of forceful and cruel techniques, many sport horses still perform in pain and discomfort. With detailed, practical information on horse physiology and multiple examples of poor riding in pictures so that the reader can avoid similar pitfalls, Dr. Heuschmann gives all of us reasons to examine ourselves and those around us through the lens of the horses welfare. As a veterinarian with thorough knowledge of the working equines body, Dr. Heuschmann ultimately intends through his expos to show how bad horsetraining methods can be eradicated in favor of far more humane ones.Readers will also find five chapters full of researched and proven recommendations for retraining horses with behavioral or biomechanical issues related to poor training techniques, including: The tense horse. The reinlame horse. The horse with gait deviations. The hyperflexed horse. The unbalanced horse that is off the aids.
