Recommended reading list
Sally Swift (now deceased) started the seat revolution with her first book Centered Riding. This book and many other Centered Riding resources are available at: www.centeredriding.org
Susanne Von Dietze (2005) Balance in Movement - How to achieve the perfect seat Trafalgar Square Publishing. I have read this book several times and gets lots out of it each time I read it.
Wendy Murdoch (2004) Simplify your Riding - Step by step techniques to improve your riding skills I have read this book several times now and I get more information from it each time I read it. I can highly recommend this book to those of you that grapple with the subject of improving your seat, balance and posture. Wendy, the author, is a past student of the legendary Sally Swift (who also highly recommended the book and wrote the foreword).
