{"product_id":"9781570766886","title":"Centered Riding 2: Further Exploration","description":"\u003cbr\u003eCentered Riding is not a style of riding as are dressage, hunter seat, or Western. Rather, it is a way of reeducating a rider’s mind and body to achieve greater balance in order to better communicate with the horse. Founder Sally Swift revolutionized riding by showing that good use of the human body makes a world of difference on horseback. Early in her work, she established what she calls the “Four Basics” — centering, breathing, soft eyes, and building blocks—which, together with grounding, are the main tenets of her method. When a rider learns and maintains these basics, then harmony between horse and human is possible.\u003cp\u003eSally Swift’s first book, \u003ci\u003eCentered Riding\u003c\/i\u003e, made its revolutionary appearance in 1985 and continues as one of the best-selling horse books of all time. This second book doesn't replace the first one, it complements it. In the intervening years, \u003ci\u003eCentered Riding\u003c\/i\u003e continued to evolve, and Sally inevitably developed many new concepts and fresh imagery, all of which are presented here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trafalgar Square","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050706223344,"sku":"9781570766886","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781570766886_p0.jpg?v=1763767660","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781570766886","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
