Bit of a Friday thread really, which books/people have you found the most influential over your riding and/or horsemanship?
In terms of riding for me it has to be Sylvia Loch's Dressage in Lightness, it explains in great detail the effect of various riding styles on the horse and not only demonstrates how light, correct and sensitive riding benefits your horse mentally and physically but also how to actually achieve this yourself.
For horsemanship I love the Kelly Marks books, I find them really helpful when I need to think outside the box or to re-focus my mind when dealing with any blips the ponies come across.
...... Over to you!
