Current Magazine Issue

 

Inspiration and education in every article!

Take a peek at several quotes. 

                                                                       

TOPLINE INK Jan/ Feb 2011 - THE ATHLETE ISSUE

 "Specialization for competition riding in jumping, hunting, dressage or cross-country competition events were a choice later made - after both horse and rider were founded in sound athletic basics." 

By Charles de Kunffy FROM ARTICLE: Athletic Horse and Rider

"There is huge talk about the biomechanics of the horse and sometimes the human is included and yet there is a serious lack of knowledge about 'Neutral Pelvis' and how to maintain it while riding."

By Peggy Cummings FROM ARTICLE: Building the Athlete Through the New Basics

 

 "Walk is a foundation gait for horses and for humans." 

By Dr. Nancy Nicholson FROM ARTICLE: Riding Walks: And an Independent Seat

 "Good transitions are when the horse performs them with a long (as opposed to shortened neck) without rushing and without being reliant on a strong hand contact." 

A Conversation with Manolo Mendez with Ysabelle Dean FROM ARTICLE: Balance, Rhythm and Suppleness: The Importance of Transitions in Dressage

 "Although all the details are not yet clear, most experts agree that overtraining results when there is insufficient time between training sessions to allow the body to respond to the damage from the previous exercise in a positive way."

By Eleanor M. Kellon, VMD FROM ARTICLE: The Athlete: About Overtraining

 "The mind is the greatest tool an athlete possesses."

FROM EXPERTS PERSPECTIVE Q & A:  by Gigi Nutter

 

"However, it takes everyday discipline from both rider and a horse to become athletes."

FROM EXPERTS PERSPECTIVE Q & A: by Ivetta Harte

 

"At this point in time, I personally have adopted pilates and jogging as my cross-training modalities."

FROM EXPERTS PERSPECTIVE Q & A: by Sarah Martin
