With the training of the horse in the classical artistic form first taught by Xenophon over 2,500 years ago at its heart, this honest examination of horsemanship past, present, and future stands alone today in its power of consciousness raising. Anja Berans gentle, but insistent, demand that every rider and trainer, beginner or expert, turn a critical eye toward his or her own methods urges readers to never forego their principle responsibilities in terms of their horses development and welfare. Meticulous, conscientious attention to the physical evolution of the horse during training and patient, correct progression through levels of learning should always trump ribbons, prize money, and fame.
