Ride from the Heart

Author(s): Jenny Rolfe

Horseracing

While there are many excellent books which help the rider to address the technical goals of dressage, "Ride from the Heart" can transform the way in which the reader communicates with his horse. Rider and trainer Jenny Rolfe has written this book to share the experiences she gained in Portugal, a country with a long and spiritual history of classical training. For many years, Jenny has been writing articles about classical communication and her innovative techniques - particularly communication through breathing - which aim for ultimate lightness and empathy in riding have been met with much interest. Through techniques used in loose work, work in-hand and under saddle, the reader will be on the way to enhancing a sense of 'feel' which in turn will encourage oneness and a spirit of dance between horse and rider. The book underlines throughout, the importance of maintaining a bond of leadership, respect and friendship with our horse and within the pages are important tools for achieving these goals. Wherever you are within your level of training, this book will help to enhance and enrich your relationship with your horse so that art may be formed through love.

Product Information

Jenny Rolfe has spent time in Portugal training with both Antonio Borba Monteira (Chief Instructor of the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art) and Classical Mestre Luis Valenca. Since returning to England, Jenny has continued to use the classical principles to explore more lightness and harmony. Exploration of this art has led her to discover the influence of our breathing within riding. She teaches the art of lateral breathing to help the rider to find harmony and balance in body, mind and spirit. Her clients come from the UK, Ireland, USA and Europe and many are professionally involved with horses. Jenny writes regularly for the US magazine Horse of Kings (within their Classical Dressage Journal) and The Horse Quarterly published in South Africa. She also writes for several magazines in the UK under 'Classical Communications'. Jenny is also an equestrian painter and one of her works is exhibited in the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.
