This book by Sally Swift was one of my first riding manuals. Sally uses visual interpretations to describe “the feel” of being a good rider. One example is when your sitting on your horse, imagine that your limbs are garden hoses with water running out. This visual helps you relax when you ride and not tighten up muscles so that you learn to go with the flow of your horse. This book became my riding guide, and has great photos with detail descriptions. Excellent riding instructions.

Sally Swift gives so much information in proven ideas.
I enjoy her masterful natural
teaching methods which help improve the equine/human team. Riding should be easy not forced. This book is one I continue to reread and use.

I have loved Center Riding for a long time! Sally Swift offers such great images that stick in your head and can be recalled easily when in the saddle and helpfully remind you to soften and lengthen our bodies. This is a book I keep handy for myself and I often recommend others read. A definite must-have for one’s collection!

This is an excellent book to learn how to develop a secure, and effective seat. The written descriptions, and drawings do a great job of getting key points across in a way that is understandable for readers of all ages. I originally read this book as a youth rider, 30+ years ago. I still refer to it.
