A holiday giveaway! I think you'll really like this one..._ Posted: 06 Dec 2009 02:26 PM PST This year's giveaway is Bringing it Together, a book and DVD, offered by a friend of the authors who also reads BTB. I have not read the book or seen it yet, but it's endorsed by Pulitzer Prize-winning author **Jane Smiley. I like what I'm reading about what the book is trying to do. The book aims to... bridge various disciplines and schools of thought on riding and dressage. encompass both traditional dressage breeds and non-traditional breeds, as well as horses not previously schooled in dressage. emphasize the personal connection and understanding that develops between the horse and rider. Take a look at this excerpt -- it's written in a way that I think folks will find clear and approachable. One of the authors has also posted a brief video from one of her clinics. While this isn't part of the DVD it gives you a taste of her approach. If you aren't the lucky winner, the book and DVD can be purchased for about $70 at the author's Web site.
