Michel Robert Michel Robert offers you an original and fun approach to learning and improving, based on a relationship of confidence and harmony with your horse.

One of the world’s top riders A leading member of the French team Medalist at the World Championships, the Olympic Games, and several times Champion of France.

Through this CD-ROM, I hope to help you discover a different, more sensitive approach to riding, one based on harmony and communication with the horse. To attain this, you must have a precise image of yourself, your horse, and what is happening -- improve your position, your effectiveness, be able to control and plan all your movements... with the aid of your personal “inner video camera”. No matter what a rider’s level may be, they all should have a series of mental reference points. Because of the wealth of its possibilities, a multimedia tool is a wonderful way to create these images. When you are on your horse, what you have seen and heard using the CD-ROM will remain in your mind to help you feel and understand what’s going on and what you should do. I am sure you have already realized that a horse and its rider form a whole. But realizing this can only be truly helpful if the rider is capable of thinking and acting in harmony with the horse. The success of their relationship is built on a solid foundation of confidence and mutual respect.“ People have often asked me what advice I would give to a young rider. And I have always answered, “Work, patience, and analysis of what is wrong and what is right.” Today, I would say that the most important thing is love of the horse, above all else. This love will give you a wealth of enjoyment. My father gave me my love of horses, and good riding instructors are also able to transmit this love. So, stand back and analyze your own behavior, look at your own progress as an individual, instead of always comparing yourself to how other riders are doing. This will help you understand your horse’s reactions and improve your riding. If you can solve your problems with love and respect for the horse, there is no reason why you cannot be come a good rider.
