Zen & Horseback Riding explains the location, importance and use of the psoas muscles. The psoas are the deep core muscles that link the upper and lower girdles of the body. They are the basis of all efficient body movement and can be used by everyone in any athletic activity. This book explains how to use your body to achieve tone, find self-carriage and to move correctly both on and off the horse. Zen & Horseback Riding is about using horseback riding as a means of self-development and training. It is about improving both your riding and your life. “I liked this book so well after being given a copy that I couldn’t wait to purchase six more copies for my friends.” Sally Swift, author of Centered Riding The Kindle edition contains color graphics and photographs for color devices.

Zen & Horseback Riding, 4th Edition: Applying the Principles of Posture, Breath and Awareness to Riding Horses, by Tom Nagel

Review "Don't let the Zen color your thoughts. Zen & Horseback Riding is the most applicable book about applying the principles of posture, breath and awareness to riding horses that I know of. Tom makes simple and understandable how to truly have self-carriage on the horse through engagement of the psoas muscles, hyoid muscles and softening of the solar plexus." ----- Dr. Suzan Seelye, DVM, Healing Heart Newsletter March/April 2008 Vol 4"It was in 2001 when Tom Nagel wrote Zen & Horseback Riding. It is a small, easy to handle spiral bound book with a soft cover. When he asked me to write the foreword for the new book I was more than happy to do so, because I absolutely love the book. Tom is an excellent writer, what he writes is easy to read. Throughout the book Tom has taken care to explain things simply and fully. He especially concentrates on the psoas muscles, how they function, and the importance of their correct use in tying the legs at the inner thigh to the lumbar spine as it levels the pelvis. The psoas muscles are also important in breathing. Tom emphasizes the importance of posture, breathing and awareness. Many of us know little about Zen. Tom has spent many years studying Zen and Zen Meditation and presents a wealth of knowledge in his simple way so the rest of us have a clear understanding of how it can influence us, our lives and our horseback riding. This is the core of this book. I liked this book so well after being given a copy that I couldn't wait to purchase six more copies for my friends." ----- Sally Swift, author of Centered Riding"You can't ride without a seat. You can't get a seat without working on your posture. People keep trying to ride without a seat and/or a position...but, well, it just doesn't work. Gimmicks and gadgets only go so far. There is only one thing that rides the horse and that is your body. Tom Nagel's concise little book tells you what you need to know to get your body organized so that you can really SIT. I use this book in all of my Dressage in the Fourth Dimension clinics. It's a really important book!" --- --Sherry L.

I have a small library of riding books and Tom's is one of only three that I refer to on a weekly basis.This book is very densely packed with information and thus deceptive. In zen, less is more, and it is also in this book. Read a paragraph, go on and then realize that there was a sentence in the last paragraph that resonated with your situation. Better read it again as you will not see it repeated over and over again as you would in a book with four times the words and less than half the content.This is a book to treasure and keep close at hand. It has made me a better rider and changed the way I ride, sit and walk. All for the better.

Nagel's approach encompasses all aspects of my awareness...physical, mental, emotional and energetic. I have never found a book like this one, and I have read a mess of them!!In clear, concise, easy to follow explanations, he has made me aware of just how little it takes to harmonize with my horse. When I got my first transitions, up and down, just by using my breathing...I cried!!!I am a Centered Riding(TM) Instructor and I recommend this book to every one of my students, experienced or beginner. I also host clinics for the author, Tom Nagel. His excellent teaching and inspiring "Zen presence" multiply the book's effectiveness 100 fold!Five stars aren't enough for what this little book has to offer! If you ride a horse, you want to read this book.

I applied my knowledge and riding experiences and tried subtle changes in my posture and various breathing exercises. This book shows different ground exercises for people to find certain muscles needed for correct riding and ability to use the aids to bring out the best in you and your horse. By doing the exercises and applying them to a riding session, it is a great eye opener.
