About the Author
Mary Wanless started riding at the age of fourteen. During the 1970s she worked in a number or riding establishments, but became disillusioned with traditional ways of teaching and gave up riding. She was soon persuaded back on a horse, however, and combined her equestrian knowledge with experience gained by studying a wide range or techniques from psychology to T'ai Chi. This led her to develop an extraordinary effective method of teaching, based on an understanding of the bio-mechanical demands of riding and of the communication styles that make riding skills easy to learn.

Customer Reviews

Cant put it down....
I bought this book after having a lesson with one of the ladies featured in this book. I had a first lesson and I was so intrigued I bought the book. The lesson was an eye-opener as my horse was in self carriage and going beautifully after just 25 minutes. The RWYM way of riding is similar to the BHS way but much more detailed and refined, and the horse goes much better with lightness with the rider `stacking the torso`. The more I learnt over the next few lessons, the more I wanted to learn. My horse is going so much better and I keep looking through this book to remind me what I am supposed to be doing. Very interesting.
