RRP: £16.99 Rhythm is an essential part of music. Crucially, rhythm is also a vital part of riding. Good riding depends on the rider’s ability to predict and control the rhythm of the horse, both accurately and sympathetically. However, whereas the musician receives specific training to improve his rhythmic skills, in riding this training often gets neglected. Instructors tell students to ‘feel the rhythm’. But how many of them train their students to ‘ride in time’ or better still ‘ride in tune’? Sara Wyche provides a fresh perspective on the subject of riding to music and explores the fundamental ingredient of riding – rhythm. Hardback 144 pages approx 190x260mm.
