The three peaks of collection - pirouette - passage - piaffe - are clearly shown to be the fruits of a logical and natural training programme whose roots are to be found in the simple signal system. Kyra demonstrates how maximum energy without tension can be achieved in these extremely demanding gymnastic exercises.

"Balance" is the key word of this second volume from the series "Training with Kyra Kyrklund". The rider's position is analysed in detail both at the halt and when in motion. Basic rider faults commonly seen are demonstrated and the relationship between the rider's balance and their instant effect on the horse are examined.
