5 out of 5 stars Phenomenal book!   April 7, 2008
Christine P. Headley (Vashon Island, WA)
This is a very informative book with an in depth look at the rider's conformation and anatomy. Very well written and extremely useful for instructors and students alike! It is also recommended reading for the USDF Instructors Certification program.
DVD
The book and video are a perfect marriage! This video was shown at my USDF Lungeing workshop for the Instrucors Cert. Program and I had to own it! Excellent demos on position faults and several exercises on how to correct. Beneficial for both the instructor and the student!!



1 out of 5 stars Balanced Riding - Not   October 25, 2007

This dvd bares no resemblance to book by the same name. It shows nice video of riders walking along trails and short footage of riders riding well, but the rest of the dvd is comprised of demonstrations of riders riding poorly in an extremely exaggerated manner. There are few demonstrations of the techniques in the book that would be of any use to a rider trying to improve. Not worth the price and not even worth the cost of shipping.


3 out of 5 stars Good ideas but not the best book around   October 16, 2007

I read this book just after I finished reading Mary Wanless' book 'Riding With Your Mind', which is referenced in Von Dietze's book. They book cover a similar topic, although Wanless' book expands into the area of right brain work to improve your riding while Von Dietze sticks to physical aspects of improving your riding seat. Her book suffers by comparison with Wanless's book because it is less well written and she is not as good as Wanless at describing how to put your various body parts in the right place. However it is an informative book and offers some good insights, particularly for the novice rider. The main deficiencies in the book from my perspective are that firstly she relies on the rider having access to lessons on the lunge, which is rarely done in Australia. Secondly the section on lateral movements is extremely brief and goes nowhere toward describing how to ride these movements. You will need to find a different book if this is what you are looking for.

Having studied dressage for just a couple of years, I've discovered it's a demanding and exhilarating sport. This DVD is not a substitute for an instructor, but it does contain plenty of useful advice and longe-line exercises. I'm glad I bought it.

The DVD's production values are also quite good, better than I expected.

This book has helped me answering many questions about the rider's balance. Explains easyly the role of each body's part.
It is quite dense and requires concentration!!
