PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The Riding Doctor
The Riding Doctor by Beth Glosten, MD is a prescription for healthy, balanced and beautiful riding. After leaving horses behind for many years to pursue her medical career, Dr. Glosten decided it was time to ride again only to discover that, as a middle-aged woman, she struggled with tension, awkwardness and an aching back. Dr. Glosten’s own frustration with riding prompted her to apply her clinical research skills and training in Pilates to figure out what it would take to not only create the harmonious picture of horse and rider moving together, but also feel good while doing it.
This riding book offers clear, practical explanations of the realities of the human body and how it can be trained to accommodate the shape and movement of the horse, as well as the skills necessary in all riding disciplines. Dr. Glosten shows you how best to improve your posture and position to prevent unnecessary physical degeneration, ensuring you can ride well for many years to come. You’ll find basic rider anatomy that is easy to understand. The book includes more than 50 easy-to-do, step-by-step exercises to help you develop fitness and mechanics specific to riding. Over 300 color photographs and more than 40 anatomical illustrations help to illustrate the concepts of the book. Plus, Dr. Glosten has developed a systematic Rider Checklist to help you keep track of your position and function in the saddle. Recommended warm-ups and workouts will help you get started with a program of healthy, pain-free and beautiful riding.
Throughout the book, case studies share rider stories that illustrate the kinds of physical challenges experienced in the saddle in midlife and how they can be met with proactive, pain-free solutions. The result is a remarkably valuable book. Paperback, 256 pages. Published by Trafalgar Square Books.
