Introduction to the Science of Motion

Anyone introduced to the science of motion enjoys a new quality of life with the horse, is able to perform at levels previously out of reach, and watches the horse's "lameness bill" dropping to virtually no expense. With great enthusiasm, one wants to share with others the fascinating journey but the explanation does not come easily.

It is not that the scientific aspect is heavy. In fact the science is clearly explained and easy to understand. The greatest difference is the kindness to the horse. The equestrian education emphasizes submission. Horses are submitted to a system and failure to perform or lameness is attributed to the horse's poor genetic or bad attitude. In reality, they are many "not good enough" horses who are very good but have their talent downgraded by muscles imbalance, morphological flaws or other defect that submissive techniques attempt to manage but are unable to resolve.

The science of motion is about addressing and correcting the muscles imbalance or the source of the abnormality. It is not done submitting the horse to another system but rather engaging the rider as well as the horse's intelligence. It is a partnership where the rider's knowledge and the horse's mental processing reach a level of body control that opens performances previously inaccessible and the capacity to perform at the horse's fullest potential while remaining sound.

Listening to numerous requests, I decided to provide this "explanation." "What is the Science of Motion" is the long due reference that anyone already engaged in this new perspective expected. For everyone hoping to further their riding skill and their horses' talent, the unprecedented quality of the illustrations and simple clarity of the text elevates What is the Science of Motion as the greatest learning materiel ever made available.
