Dressage in Lightness is a must for anyone who wants to know how their horse feels, moves and thinks in each and every dressage movement from straight lines and circles through to piaffe and passage. Concepts such as collection, outline, engagement and the weight aids are explained in simple but unerring detail.
Sylvia Loch believes that the teaching of the correct seat, elegance and the subtle aiding of the horse is of the utmost importance. In this book she re-emphasises all the traditional classical aids taking the reader step- by-step through the schooling process from basic flatwork to the High School movements. Importantly, the book looks at the things as much from the horse's perspective as it does from the rider's and insists that, for the horse to 'blossom', harmony, lightness and the right attitude of mind must always prevail.
Sylvia Loch is known for her teaching, lecturing and videos. She has given clinics and seminars all over the world. In 1982 she co-founded The Lusitano Breed Society of Great Britain, and in 1995 formed The Classical Riding Club (CRC).

Horseweb-UK says..
Another brilliant book, published in hardback, with excellent illustrations and colour photos, this book explains not only the theory between teaching the correct seat and the proper and subtle aiding of the horse through the various dressage movements, but also shows simply and extensively how to put that theory into practice, progressing from a very novice stage to the advanced movements of high school. A must for all dressage enthusiasts, trainers and instructors and those who wish to improve their own riding and their horses well being.
