I've been working since the morning and just returned home. These days have been quite busy.
Lately, I've been making time to read books.
I wonder how many books on horse riding I have read so far. Despite trying to read them, most of the content was beyond my
understandings.
I even read "Centered Riding" by Ms. Sally Swift. However, at that time, I could barely comprehend the content of the book. I even
wondered if this book was unnecessary for someone who could understand it, for they must already be skilled.
Several years have since passed, and there are parts of this book that I can now somewhat understand.
And now, as I read the e-book by Mr. Kitamura of JRA, I realize that this book is written very clearly. This may suggest that my horse riding skills have slightly improved.
I plan to read this book carefully, slowly, and diligently. The reason being that it clearly communicates the experiences of an active rider,
which is a very kind gesture.
In horse riding, understanding the concepts is not enough. One must understand with the mind, imagine, ride the horse, and accumulate
a lot of experiences I have a slight expectation that this path will lead to mastery of horse riding, and becoming one with the horse.
I am happy to have come across such a wonderful book on horse riding, one that stirs up such expectations.
