From the Back Cover

Take your understanding of horses and riding to a new level.

In this sequel to How Your Horse Wants You to Ride: Starting Out—Starting Over, Gincy Self Bucklin explores in greater depth the three basics: relationship, riding without interfering, and communication. She then covers the rest of the essential riding skills, including cantering, jumping, and cross country, providing a comprehensive foundation for upper-level work. Bucklin introduces the serious student to advanced concepts, presented in a way that is easy to understand. You'll learn:

  • How to use leading to improve your rein skills and your horse's responses
  • How free-longeing helps you and your horse learn more about his body
  • Why "riding your horse straight" isn't as simple as you thought
  • How to help your horse deal with downhills
  • How to really sit the canter
  • Why jumping is one of the easiest skills

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Gincy Self Bucklin has been teaching riding for more than 60 years. Her students have included recreational riders of all ages and levels, many of whom have also shown successfully and some of whom have become professionals themselves. While many experienced instructors teach only advanced riders, Gincy has also worked extensively with beginners and intermediates, believing that in order to be successful at the advanced level, riders must know and perfect the fundamentals from the start. She now works with instructors to share the teaching methods presented in her books.

Gincy’s mother was well-known equestrian author Margaret Cabell Self. Gincy was also fortunate to grow up in an area that had many world-class instructors and clinicians, including Sally Swift, George Morris, and Nuno Oliveira. Some of her early instructors trained with European trainers during the 1920s and ’30s while the cavalry, where much of the equine knowledge was developed, was still in existence. Gincy is a retired Centered Riding instructor and is an American Riding Instructors Association level IV instructor.

Gincy has been writing about horses and riding since 1987. She is the author of What Your Horse Wants You to Know, How Your Horse Wants You to Ride, and More How Your Horse Wants You to Ride. She has been a contributor to national horse magazines, including Equus and Horse Illustrated. Currently she writes a regular column for Riding Instructor, the quarterly publication of the American Riding Instructors Association (ARIA), and maintains her own website, http://whatyourhorsewants.com.

I bought this book thinking I would want it later, after my riding had improved through the program in _How Your Horse Wants You to Ride_. It sat around unread for a long time because I thought I wasn't ready for the advanced material yet. Then I peeked inside and found out that MORE doesn't just pick up where the first book left off. MORE starts at the beginning and adds to the material in the first book, at every level. There is material in there that is way too advanced for me but there is also a whole lot that isn't. There is some review, some overlap of what's in the first book, in addition to the new material. Take a peek, you'll find that MORE begins with the Seven Steps, progresses to working with the horse on the ground, and so on. So don't wait to read MORE. It will give you more, no matter where you are on your journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Far exceeded my expectations - this book and its companion are must-haves for rides of ALL levels
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2008

I LOVE this book (and its predecessor) - they FAR exceeded my expectations, and even after 18 years of formal training under instructors' guidance, I have learned so much from this wonderful book. Beginner or advanced rider, this is honestly a must-read...and I do not say that too often about books! It was a pleasant surprise to see the size of this book and its companion - they are not flimsy or overly brief in the least, but there is no superfluous content, photos or diagrams to confuse you, either. I wish there were more books around by this author!

I've been riding for about 20 years now and this had some wonderful information. I've always loved to ride bareback and I knew it was great for improving balance, but it can be difficult without some kind of pad. I also think it's not that comfortable for the horse, having a person sliding against its hair growth. Everything about this book is fair to the horse and helps us humans see where we are making mistakes and how we can improve.

This is a great, great book to help you solve lots of riding problems. So much of good riding is in little details of balance, centeredness, and suppleness. This book will help you figure out if you're really as balanced, centered, or supple as you think you are and how to correct it. I refer to it time and time again.

Great book for problem solving for the more advanced rider. I recommend reading it thru once and then keeping it around if a problem crops up. It's all English though. Boo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book for the horse and rider.
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2007
In her third book, this companion to "How Your Horse Wants You To Ride", Gincy gives us another collection of her deep insights into horse behavior, comfort and motivation. Every nuance of equine behavior is covered. Every situation that will arise is here with solutions in easily understood text and excellent photo illustrations.

This, and the earlier book, form a complete manual for riders from their early beginnings, through to mastery and enjoyment of riding. In fact, through building confidence and understanding from the start, it assures that both the horse and rider will enjoy their times together. It is all done with warmth, kindlness and complete understanding of the rider's point of view as well as that of the horse. These books offer lots of support and knowledge for anyone working with and enjoying horses.

For the instructor "More HYHWYTR" with its companion book, provides a wonderful basis for planning lessons and dealing with every day to day situation that arises with riding students and their mounts.

As in her earlier books, Gincy focuses on building the rider's confidence as well as her skill.

Gincy's decades of experience teaching, training, riding and loving horses comes clearly through to us in her enjoyable and helpful books.

More HYHWYTR is a 'must have' for everyone who rides, from pre-beginner to confident expert..

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Addition to Book Series
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2006
This IS the perfect addition to the Author,Gincy Bucklins', previous two books.With her years of knowledge she has the ability to simplify and pass on to others the most affective way to accomplish our goals with our Horses.She also has a great concern for the horses comfort as she attempts to allow us to learn or relearn the correct way to ride in balance and safety. All of her books recap The Seven Steps which has proven to be an invaluable asset for both rider and horse.I cannot praise or thank Ms Bucklin enough for the three books she has written and the help she has given to so many ....MORE, GINCY, MORE!
