Summary

Like the classic deadly sins, the seven deadly sins of dressage presented in this innovative guide--ignorance, timidity, pride, fear, gluttony, impatience, and sloth--wreak havoc on both rider and equine development and training. Calling attention to common mistakes and offering new strategies for avoiding age-old pitfalls, this manual addresses the philosophical issues of incorrect dressage training by examining each vice in depth.
