No mention is made of the lateroflexion and rotation of the spine in movement, or how a horse shoulder functions, there is not even a single basic anatomy chart, nor does it delve deep enough into the principle of the question..HOWEVER, it puts across certain ideas and methods in an extremely enlightening way, it's very easy to implement, and even if you have already a fair notion of biomechanics, I still recommend it because like me you may have missed the obvious in looking for the more arcane.If you have no idea about biomechanics and feel intimidated, this is a really excellent starter book, which even beginners would benefit from.Be sure to complement your knowledge further by, for example, visiting the scienceofmotion website, which deals in the same in a more technical, scientifically correct manner (but can be overwhelmingly complicated if you aren't familiar with the concepts).4 solid stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, easy to follow. Good diagrams and photos. *by S***J on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2020* This book covers the essence of classical training, It's not too wordy, and I found it easy to understand. Good photos with annotations, and lots of drawings of the horse, to show you what the author is explaining.I have a young horse and this book helped me to understand how to move his weight from his stiff-side fore leg and onto his opposite side hind. I have read several books on the topic of horse straightness but this has been the most straightforward one for me grasp the ideas. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Getting a new perspective *by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2020* Gave me a whole new perspective on training my horse in hand, some new exercises and a great project for lockdown --- ## 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.sn/products/50113723-straightening-the-crooked-horse-correct-imbalance-relieve-strain-and-encourage](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/50113723-straightening-the-crooked-horse-correct-imbalance-relieve-strain-and-encourage) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
