Lauded by Olympian Carl Hester as the book he most frequently quotes at clinics, it examined the ways the \u003ci\u003ephysical\u003c\/i\u003e bodies of horse and rider work together--the physics behind riding in balance. In Baumert's new book \u003ci\u003eHow Two Minds Meet, \u003c\/i\u003e she takes us beyond physical harmony to look at the minds of both horse and rider, each complete with its own set of emotions and mental capabilities. Readers will explore: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow the mind of the horse works. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe rider's \"two minds\"--the analytical mind and the sensory dimension of the mind (with which the horse more readily identifies). \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecific ways to get into the \"non-thinking place\" where the best communication between horse and rider takes place. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrinciples of Learning that enable riders to improve the use of the traditional, knowledge-accumulating part of their brains.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNine ideas for boosting your ability to learn, retain, and apply knowledge that's useful in training horses.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMethods for organizing and \"filing\" information so it can be best utilized.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to ensure the horse is physically comfortable (balanced) under saddle to allow for a meeting of the minds in the first place.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot only does Baumert explain how to optimize the use of the \"thinking mind\" in order to become a better learner in the saddle, she provides techniques for maximizing mental and emotional harmony with the horse, a state of unity that feels so good, Baumert calls it the \"charming addiction\"--once a rider has it, she wants to attain it again and again. Feeding this addiction is possible, says Baumert, with the thoughtful, practical insight she shares in these pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeth Baumert\u003c\/b\u003e was the initial editor for Dressage Today magazine and later served as its technical editor for nearly 25 years.
