Amazing - Life Changing!
This book was the turning point in my riding! I was recommended to read it when having some confidence difficulties and now it is my bible. Audrey Townley has hit the nail on the head with most riders problems - we try too hard at times and get too many opinions. Her approach is focus on one thing and build a bond with your horse - her techniques for focusing are simple and well explained too. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who has ever had nerves. I enjoyed it that much that I have bought "The Natural Horse" too!

Best Riding Book ever?
I cannot agree more with the first reviewer's opinion on this book.It is truly inspirational.I recognised so much of myself within it and now understand why I had been experiencing problems with my riding.I thought at times the book had actually just been written for me.
The tips on relaxation really do work.
One of the best things though is that Audrey Townley does manage to get you thinking for yourself and doing your own problem solving which I know has helped me improve my riding within the shortest time I would ever have thought possibe.Brilliant !!!
