  Dressage rider Kyra Kyrklund explains the system of training that has brought her repeated success with numerous horses from novice to Grand Prix. She believes that when a horse and rider are working together, not only should the picture look easy, but also it should be easy for both partners. The key words in her method are systematic , logical and consistent . Step by step she guides the reader through her ABC. She reveals how she teaches horses to work happily on the lightest aids possible and stresses the importance of two-way communication, and that the training system must at all times be fair. Kyra explains how to develop straightness, bend and flexion, and a correct rein contact. The importance of position and balance and how to use the seat actively and passively are explained.
