Good horsemen ride well without knowing how they do it, and without understanding why you are not like them and cannot do it too. During 23 years of research it has been Mary Wanless' personal mission to expose the secrets of horsemanship, breaking down riding skills into "bite-size chunks" and finding ways of describing them that work for average riders. By using the learning strategies given here the rider should discover how to connect with the horse in a way that makes sense to him and enables him to carry himself well, in self-carriage. At the same time the techniques aim to offer the rider security, stability and effectiveness in the saddle. This title sets out to simplify "Ride With Your Mind" methods and to provide a basic tool-kit for the acquisition of a truly independent seat in walk, trot and through transitions, on straight lines, turns and circles - and, importantly, how to make corrections when things don't go exactly to plan. Mary explains how to use the hands, legs and body correctly, and gives the ingredients for perfect contact. In each section, the instruction is backed up by practical self-tests and exercises to ensure success, and there are ideas for troubleshooting during the learning process and in the future. Review: Brilliant for riders to improve their riding and would be awesome if all instructors read this too - Excellent guidance from Mary Wanless best used by established/experienced and maybe confused riders to improve/change (for the better) riding techniques that might (Er hum) have developed into some bad habits. Also this would be excellent for a lot of instructors to help understand the depth of information and break down of technique that their clients are looking for. Alongside regular instruction, (and watching and listening to pretty much anything Wanless has published online) this book has helped me sooo much. It fills in many of the gaps left out of the you tube videos etc and speaks a language that is more easily understood than many standard riding books. Bought on kindle. Enjoyed reading it and have learnt a lot. Now wish I’d got this in hard copy too. Review: How to improve your riding, a must read for any rider. - Fantastic insight into how you can improve your ability to ride and be at one with your horse. Mary explains in detail what you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask. ## Features - Ride with Your Mind ESSENTIALS: Innovative Learning Strategies for Basic Riding Skills - Product type: ABIS BOOK - Brand: Kenilworth Press ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 179,756 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 91 in Horses 183 in Riding & Horsemanship (Books) 4,530 in General Sports, Hobbies & Games | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 221 Reviews | ## Images ![Ride with Your Mind Essentials: Innovative Learning Strategies for Basic Riding Skills - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nU5w4gzwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant for riders to improve their riding and would be awesome if all instructors read this too *by K***K on 4 August 2020* Excellent guidance from Mary Wanless best used by established/experienced and maybe confused riders to improve/change (for the better) riding techniques that might (Er hum) have developed into some bad habits.

For anyone who likes theory backed up with accessible and comprehensible explanations of how the theory works in practice. As an example, Mary gives more than one explanation for how to find your seat and I love the fact she also talks about how it feels when you haven't got it. Everything she says I have been taught before, but I have never been able to absorb in quite so meaningful a way. My instructor - who is first class - has noticed a marked improvement in my riding and we are now working through the book together. I Have ridden all my life to a relatively high level, but have never made so much progress with my technique in such a short time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/61188298-ride-with-your-mind-essentials-innovative-learning-strategies-for-basic](https://www.desertcart.at/products/61188298-ride-with-your-mind-essentials-innovative-learning-strategies-for-basic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
