The exercises in the book have been taken from over 500 Pilates exercises and have been specifically chosen to best suit the needs of the dressage rider. It contains clear photos and detailed instructions which clarify each exercise. Written with the input of physical therapist Katrin Haselbacher, "Pilates for Dressage Riders" is an essential read for any serious student of dressage.
