Sylvia Loch - Intro Book/DVD?

[Foxford]

Hi all,

Am hoping someone can help me! I have a new dressage trainer who is very much classical in their take on things. It is quite overwhelming starting off down this road, but I have seen friends and fellow students progress within their lessons and I'm keen to keep on going and learn more. I think Sylvia may be a good place to start reading around the seat, but she has a dozen books and I only really want to buy one!!

I am a one horse owner with lots of work/family commitments so I'm keen to get books or DVDs to read up on the theory of it all. Trainer only visits the area once a month and I can't always make the dates, so I want to keep the momentum going by learning and trying new things.

Any help appreciated.

I have 'The Balanced Horse' which I found very good. It has lots of photos with explanations which is good if you are a visual learner.

The Classical Seat is a nice concise book that is detailed but easy to make sense of. Have a look at the group on facebook, lots of lovely helpful people on there.
