Over time, horses (like people) acquire postural habits, compensate for soreness and injury, and develop poor movement patterns. This limits performance ability, causes unsoundness and health issues, and ultimately undermines the horse's overall well–being.
Jec Aristotle Ballou has made a name for herself advocating for the horse and providing sensible instruction in his schooling, conditioning, and care. Her bestselling books and popular clinics are designed to enable any horse person to correctly apply proven principles that bring measurable progress while avoiding boredom and confusion. In her latest collection of mounted and unmounted corrective exercises, Ballou demonstrates how we can actively work to improve the horse's posture and movement, whether he is an active performance or pleasure mount, an aging or older horse that benefits from gentle exercise, or one being rehabilitated following injury, illness, or lack of conditioning. Ballou's positive cross–training techniques are free of shortcuts, and her guidelines for analyzing the horse's posture and way of going help readers gain a new awareness of the equine body. Applicable for all disciplines, this is an integral collection that optimizes how the horse uses his body and helps ensure he stays sounder and healthier for more years of his life.

"I just received the book so may have more to say later. Lots of information & the book is well organized & the binding is functional. My criticism is I can't find a bibliography or resource reference like in her other book. I very much miss having these."

- Bought this book on a whim, with no reviews. This book is great! Exercises for every age and level of horse, and programs for everything from rehabbing soft tissue injuries to maintaining seniors to starting young horses out on the right track. Many exercises require ground poles and risers, but there are also plenty that do not require any special equipment. Everything is very nicely explained in terms of how to do the exercise, what they will accomplish, and possible modifications. Truly a great resource to have around, keeps groundwork interesting for horse and human, and works communication between horse and rider while achieving balance, proprioception, strengthening the core and targeted muscle groups, and adding tools to your rehab toolbox.
- Lots of great exercises to try with your horse. I really like Jec Ballou's books and this one did not disappoint. Highly recommend it, even if your horse doesn't need "correction." Lots of exercises to add to your current riding routine.
- I just received the book so may have more to say later. Lots of information & the book is well organized & the binding is functional. My criticism is I can't find a bibliography or resource reference like in her other book. I very much miss having these.
- Easy to understand exercises and routines to help prevent or recover from injury. I especially like that it tells you what to do, how long to do it, and gives you routines to help your horse move and feel it's best. There is riding exercises, ground exercises, and bodywork included. My horses really enjoy to programs in this book.
- I am reading this book in the winter (Minnesota). As soon as it warms up, I will be trying out exercises with my horse. Photos & detailed, short descriptions that are easy to understand.
- It's an excellent book. It is helping my OTTB get balanced and is strengthening my senior.
- Well written with great respect for the reader's intelligence. Versatile exercises I am using for both my riding horses and my retired horses. The horses seem to enjoy the tasks and perk up as we do them! Good descriptions both written and illustrated. I highly recommend this book and bought a 2nd one as a gift for a good horse friend.
- Great book with great, well-described exercises. Only problem is not having all of the types of terrain called for in the book.
