As a horse rider, you know what you need to fix because it's what your trainer tells you every lesson. But have you ever wondered why you're actually struggling with it in the first place? The problem is most riders never find out how to fix their pain points because nobody's isolating the true cause, coaches just hand you the next correction.

Here's the harsh truth, if you don't know what's causing your struggles, you can't fix them. Ironically you can become a better rider outside of the saddle just as easily, if you know how.

This book breaks down the causes and effects of horseback riding: the causes behind your struggles, and the effects, which is what your trainer is telling you in your lessons. Once you understand why you are struggling, then this book shows you how to fix it.

Take "stop pulling," for instance. There are two main reasons riders pull: weakness and fear. While the effect is the rider pulling, depending on which one is actually plaguing you, there are tactics to fixing the cause you are specifically struggling with. This book helps you diagnose the real cause and fix it yourself.
