HUNTER, JUMPER & EQUITATION
Mastering Equitation
“There is a reason for “equitation skills”, and it is not to look pretty. Equitation is about the PHYSICS of THRUST and SPEED and BALANCE and MOTION, and how the human body either gets in the way of the horse as he does his job, or gets out of the way so he can function.”
— Denny Emerson
