Читать книгу 55 Corrective Exercises for Horses - Jec Aristotle Ballou - Страница 8

Writing books requires an unseemly amount of hard work, and as I’ve learned, a team of people who believe in you. I would like to offer a huge heartfelt thank you to those individuals who supported this project in one way or another. Above all, thank you Donna Stidolph. You are one of a kind.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and made the marathon photo shoot a reality: Kelsey Doyle, Jane Brown, Liz Folb, Angela Rebol, Bill Blume, Sara Stern. I would also like to acknowledge the people who make my daily training program a pleasure and a success: Carlos Nunez, Carolyn Oshinsky, Juliette Rys.

This book was born from my own wish that a resource like this already existed. Thanks to Trafalgar Square Books for believing in the need for this book and for helping me develop it. Also, a nod to my mentors, horses, and students who motivate me to keep adding to my toolbox of skills. I continue to be inspired by the convergence of classical dressage principles with the findings of exercise physiology research, and I admire all the others who are also trying to fit this puzzle together. Let’s press onward together.

To my partner Siobhan I give enormous gratitude for accepting the ever-consuming focus that my life with horses occupies.
