North Pomfret, Vermont—It is no secret that collection is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Western and English riding. Everyone wants it, but few people know how to get it. Real collection proves elusive because—until now—the instructions for achieving it have been complex, incomplete, or even incorrect. The result (false collection) is often based on a forced headset and little else, and ultimately leads to significant behavioral problems in the horse—and tragically, even physical breakdown.
In September, 2010, Trafalgar Square Books of North Pomfret, Vermont (www.horseandriderbooks.com) will release The Rider’s Guide to Real Collection—an exciting and ground-breaking new book by world-class rider, trainer, and clinician Lynn Palm—that actually debunks the myths of collection and demystifies it for even the most amateur rider, while thoroughly and thoughtfully explaining how anyone with any horse can actually attain it. With 40 years experience riding and training champion all-around performance horses, and a background in dressage, Lynn has perfected an easy-to-use system of exercises that gradually collect any type of horse, regardless of his build, and that are of particular value to stock horse breeds such as Quarter Horses, Paints, and Appaloosas. It is this amazingly successful, simple, safe, and fair system of training and conditioning that she will now share with the world.
Lynn’s three stages of easy-to-use exercises will get your horse light, balanced, willing, and ready to take on any riding challenge with you on board. The rewarding results will be a horse in a beautiful frame that enjoys doing his “job” and doing it well, and for you riding will become more fun and less work. Plus, you’ll extend your horse’s athletic life and preserve his overall health. In the end you’ll have the responsive, happy horse that every rider dreams of: healthy, willing, and ready to be competitive in the show pen or just simply a great pleasure to ride.
No other clinician today can begin to match LYNN PALM PITTION-ROSSILLON’S first-class reputation and proven performance record as an all-around trainer, showman, exhibitor, and entrepreneur. Some of Lynn’s notable accomplishments include: 34 World and Reserve World Championships; Four Superhorse titles; American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Female Equestrian of the Year; bridleless exhibitions with the legendary Rugged Lark at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, National Horse Show, The Washington International, and the International World Cup; 2003 Equine Affaire Exceptional Equestrian Educator Award winner; 2006 AQHA Professional Horsewoman of the Year; and Women’s Sports Foundation 2000 Female Equestrian of the Year. Lynn and her husband Cyril Pittion-Rossillon conduct Ride Well Clinics at Fox Grove Farm in Ocala, Florida, and at Royal Palm Ranch in Bessemer, Michigan, as well as across the country.
