The Dressage Way illustrates the transformation of the human by virtue of the eminently noble creature: the horse. This book is neither a simple how-to manual nor a staunch treatise on the benefits of dressage for horse and rider.
With classical dressage as both foundation and inspiration, this collection of essays traces the path of the dressage trainer as she grows through her experiences with the horse.
In section one, The Way of Dressage, we see the trainer as a keen observer. She describes seemingly endless ways to understand this complex creature and in turn, herself.
Section two, The Way to Dressage, is a guide. The path has become clearer, more distinct, and all questions have been answered. There is no looking back - only forward, and to what?
In third section, The Way is Dressage the trainer has come to the revelation that dressage provides a way in and of itself. The beauty of this way is that the horse and human are no longer separate entities but have become particularly joined so as to become yet a third, single entity. This possibility of dressage is rarely realized and even more rarely written about. In this volume a type of universal language is used, one comprehensible to both horse and human. And it is this inclusion of both that leads to the growth of each. This is the only way.
