Dressage Riding – What is the Game? EBook

This is the thesis I wrote for my BSc. honours Degree in Applied Sports Coaching. I videoed 2 Olympic dressage riders working 6 year old horses, whilst repeatedly asking them ‘What are you paying attention to now?’. I transcribed their answers, and considered them under a number of headings which shed light on how these riders think. I find this a very interesting piece of work; it is written in a rather academic style, but as long as you can bear with this, there is some fascinating and unexpected information here.
