"Every movement of the rider's body starts in the brain. In these pages, Olympic competitor and coach Marc Nèolke explains how to direct the specific areas of the brain that control stability, sense of rhythm, precision of movement, breathing, and vision. With his unique brain-focused exercises, riders learn how to change the input sent to their brain to get healthier, more athletic output, which can include intentional and unintentional movement, and functions of circulatory, hormonal, or immune systems. The brain decides how you ride and how you feel when you ride based on the input you send it. Traditionally equestrians have worked to improve the brain's output (riding skills) by training the output (riding skills). Nèolke's innovative "Neuro-Rider Program" is based on 40 innovative exercises for achieving better output (better riding skills), not by endlessly practicing the movements, but instead by changing the input-what you send to your brain for it to process and interpret"--
