The combination of Equitation Science and classical riding is widely recognized as the most humane, effective, and practical approach to training and enjoying horses, whether for competitive purposes or not. To remain disengaged is to accept the status quo, which falls short of providing the best for our equine companions. It is time to demand better for our horses.

Sharon E. Cregier, Ph.D., FIASH (Hon., Edin.), a founding member of the Equine Behavior Forum, emphasizes this sentiment in her book, Fine Riding. The author combines her lifelong expertise in authentic classical riding with a 17-year study and practice of Equitation Science to present a comprehensive guide on how to blend these principles effectively.

Fine Riding offers a unique and rational blend of principles that are clearly explained and designed to empower readers to train, ride, and care for their horses in a truly effective and humane manner. The book is applicable to riders of all schools of thought, from hacking to racing, including jumping, and goes beyond being just another "system of riding." It applies the results of rigorous scientific studies to the historical, classical training and riding of horses in an ethical, humane, and effective way.

Through the author's clear and concise explanations, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the principles involved and feel confident in applying them to their own horse training and riding practices. This book will inspire horse owners to serve their horses with renewed understanding and commitment, ensuring that they receive the best care and attention possible.

In conclusion, Fine Riding is a valuable resource for anyone who desires to train and enjoy their horses in the most humane, effective, and practical way possible. By blending the principles of classical riding with the modern findings of Equitation Science, the author provides readers with a unique and rational approach that empowers them to provide the best care and attention to their equine companions. It is a must-read for horse owners who are committed to the well-being and happiness of their horses.
