Dressage for No Country: Finding Meaning, Magic and Mastery in the Second Half o

Description: Dressage for No Country by Paul Belasik Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "The author, a renowned classical dressage trainer, traces his evolution as a horse person through the years and from country to country and method to method as he traveled in search of the truth in dressage training. Throughout, he questions whether competitive dressage loses the plot and whether or not it can be saved"-- Publisher Description Armed with the knowledge and experience he accrued over time, Belasik debates whether classical dressage and competition dressage are at all compatible.In the 1970s, the sport of dressage was still in its infancy in the United States. Unlike the countries of Europe, there was neither an established tradition nor a written history to educate and inspire. A rider intent on learning the discipline had to be prepared to travel, to immerse himself in other cultures, and to care only for what those who had already mastered the art might teach him. Paul Belasik was this rider, intent on learning all he could about dressage methodology, and willing and able to compare and contrast the various means for achieving related goals: Beautiful movement."Lightness."Connection between two beings. In these pages Belasik shares a lifetime of searching and studying, both through stories of his own adventures and thoughtful essays on the subjects he has pondered during the years he has trained and ridden horses. Beginning in northern New York, and traveling to Portugal, and later, Vienna, Belasik serves as a tour guide of the various dressage "paths" he had the chance to explore, including: The German system. The Portuguese art of equitation.And the revered institutions of the Spanish Riding School. He considers the role of mindfulness, how to become a good teacher, and how to be a good student in todays horse world, providing the guideposts needed to take dressage-and riding, in general-the next step forward. Includes historical photographs from the authors travels.
