Review
“Sometimes when I’m teaching I find myself thinking my student really needs to read Beth Baumert’s book. The perspective and the words she’s chosen give a welcomed fresh approach to describing the theories behind training.”—George Williams, member of the US Dressage Team and President of the United States Dressage Federation (USDF)“I absolutely LOVE this book! It grabbed me from the moment I read the words ‘perfect balance’ and ‘that place where two spines meet’—you get such a great visual from this! When teaching, it can be a struggle to help riders who can’t seem to balance themselves. This is where author Beth Baumert provides a valuable tool: She explains why the rider’s balance is the key to the horse’s balance and how a controlled interaction of balance ultimately leads to success and harmony. This book is where the magic begins.”—Debbie McDonald, two-time Olympian and USEF Developing Dressage Coach“Beth Baumert and I are on the same wavelength when it comes to horses and dressage training. Now she has created the best guide I’ve seen for those who really want to grasp the ins and outs of dressage—I’ve never read a book covering all facets of dressage in this detail. With all that is going on in our sport today, I hope that riders—now and in the future—will pursue dressage as it is described here by Beth.”—Henk van Bergen, former Chef d’Equipe of the Dutch National Dressage Team and British National Young Riders Developing Team, and member of the FEI Judges Supervisory Panel“This book is truly timeless. I can humbly admit that it clarified some subject even for me, after a lifetime of being involved with dressage. It is the equivalent of countless clinics given by some of the best in the world.”—Axel Steiner, FEI 5* Dressage Judge (retired), USEF “S” Judge, and USDF “L” Program faculty member“Beth Baumert’s book is desperately needed. I see many riders going down the wrong road, often because of a dubious understanding of the term ‘dressage’ and a limited view of its importance. Whatever you are riding—whether hunters, ponies, jumpers—I recommend that you learn about and use dressage in your schooling, if only for reasons of maintaining soundness. I’m lucky that, in my life of riding and teaching, there has never been jumping without flatwork. But that’s in my own little world. Today’s riders are too consumed with cosmetics and competition. Even riders at the top have somehow lost what the Masters knew centuries ago! Every rider needs to know the basic tenets of dressage, and so I recommend When Two Spines Align: Dressage Dynamics. I can’t say enough good about it.”—George Morris, former Chef d’Equipe of the US Show Jumping Team“This is a great book! It mirrors what I see in Beth Baumert’s students—they all demonstrate a very classical way of riding and training horses. When Two Spines Align: Dressage Dynamics clearly explains the classical foundation of how the rider should balance and sit so that he or she can then educate the horse. Beth has provided a valuable tool for all kinds and levels of riders.”—Bo Jena, Chef d’Equipe, Swedish Dressage Team and FEI 4* Judge“[T]he best reason to read When Two Spines Align is that your horse will thank you for it—no matter what your discipline. … [W]hen you move in true harmony with [your horse] so that it looks as if the movements are his idea—it’s the moment we all strive for. This book can help you get there.”—Practical Horseman“This is easily the most influential book I have read for a long, long time. … So many great concepts it is almost overwhelming. HUGE thumbs up—you will love this book.”—Behind the Bit Blog

I was super excited to receive and dive into this book, but I'm really not caring for it...at all! It is all over the place referencing far into the book, The author assumes the reader knows all the lingo and you read a hundred pages at a time wondering when you will understand, if ever. I was bored within the first chapters and by page 70 I was ready to throw in the towel. I'm still plodding on but I wish I hadn't purchased it at all. NOW AFTER FINISHING THE BOOK...I would like to clarify my previous review after having finished the book with somewhat DIFFERENT FEELINGS. I hope I can help someone like me who had trouble with it, because THERE IS GOOD INFO HERE. Did I enjoy reading it? No! It is textbook dry but I'm glad I read it!When the author says something like I'll be getting more in depth on this subject later page 100, go there immediately! I didn't because I thought I'm already lost I'm sure to be baffled with more intricate in depth information. The book is just written that way continually referencing far into the book. Better yet, when you first say hmm...go to your computer and start googling. There are typos which confused me too. Like in two different places it says halt-halt then in a few strides again half-halt. Well unless there's a halt-halt a halt and a half halt well you get the picture. "AT X" then there would be no X on the arena diagram. Further on, in another diagram oh, there's X it's in the center of the arena...silly me. If, for instance you want to refer back to an exercise, good luck! because unless you know exactly what that exercise was trying to improve, you've got no reference. It's indexed really weird to me. I still don't know which way tracking right or tracking left wants me to go and there is no reference in the index for tracking at all. It would have been a much more enjoyable read if the author could have just told the many reasons for half halt and the posture for shoulder fore right off the bat instead of a hundred pages later. I know it says DRESSAGE DYNAMICS on the cover but I thought I'd be learning about dressage dynamics instead of being required to have been born and bred in the field. It seemed kind of snobbish to me, like only intended for those "in the know" and I felt pretty dumb sometimes reading it, and that didn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling. But it is really good info!My favorite part of the book was the last two lines, in the conclusion..."He passages and piaffs down the final centerline with elasticity and vigor BECAUSE HE'S PROUD TO CARRY YOU. THAT'S WHERE TWO MINDS MEET, TWO HEARTS MEET, AND THE MAGIC BEGINS." If the whole book could have been written in this spirit I would have been over the moon with joy, I'm all about the lightbulb moments with my horse and so is my guy. That connection is what we all want. I hope he will be able to tell something is different and appreciate all the effort I put into reading this book. I"m sure he will!! maybe you should read it too! but just sayin'...just because it is scientific in nature, doesn't mean it has to be boring, right? Thank you though, Beth Beaumert for the great information and all the effort put into this book. It couldn't have been easy. and I"M GLAD I READ IT!!... but I'm glad I'm done :)
This is easily the most influential book I have read for improving my riding. Much as I love Sally Swift, this book had a bigger impact for me -- captures that essence of the Swift metaphors and goes further in its analysis of what constitutes good riding -- there are exercises too.When Spines Align is about more than posture -- it has helped me to better understand the right "feel" -- both in the particulars (connection, use of weight, etc) and more generally. I have been implementing what I've learned for about a month, and my trainer (who did not know I was reading the book) has been saying things like "I don't know what you are doing but you have changed your riding." There is a significant difference in my horse, and for the first time in quite awhile I feel that a) he is happy in the work and b) we are making progress.
I have been riding for over 50 years and have purchased many books on jumping, eventing and dressage. I became addicted to the precision and beauty of dressage in the early 90's. This book is by far, one of the finest I have ever read. I could not put it down. Beth's methods brought me back to my lessons with my mentor, a Spanish Riding School Bereiter, who taught me so much about being a thinking rider on a thinking horse. I regularly communicate with him, and reading Beth's book mirrors many of the exercises he taught me using weight or a stirrup pressure to influence a particular leg or part of the horses's.body. I am in heaven!
I have spent the last month studying Beth Baumert's book on training one's horse, and one's self. Each night I read a chapter and the following day instrument what I have learned.I have a young Andaluz horse who had been skitish and rushing. I now have a partner with whom our spines align, and our minds mesh.Ms Baumert is so clear in her detailed descriptions. She presents excellent exercises to practice the lessons. Very good drawings and photographs to illustrate her point.I've been a dressage rider since 1990, on various horses and levels. I have read much, am a judge in Ecuador where I live.I have never read such a complete study in training a horse, one that is so helpful to me. Thank you very much, Ms. Baumert for taking your time to share your wealth of knowledge!
This book has everything that is important and interesting for the dressage student,. This is many books all in one - it is the culmination or an anthology of so many concepts, ideas and theories gathered by Beth over many years having interviewed 'anyone who is anyone' in the dressage world, all in one amazing package. It also draws on her life time of hands on experience as a trainer and rider. This book is not only 'how' but 'why' and 'what if you don't' and 'what not to do' to how it 'feels'. It is full of exercises and problem solving solutions all easy to follow and clearly laid out. Also many wonderful photographs and illustrations you will recognize the artist from 'Solutions' in Dressage Today, the gifted Sandy Robinowitz.
Love this book. It is able to put things in perspective from the riders point of view and into how it relays to the horse. How our body language and body position effect the horse and the horses movements. There are also step by step exercises given as well in each chapter. The chapters build up more and get more advanced the further along you go. Definitely a must have for any dressage rider and also for anyone who wants to improve their riding in general.I believe all riders would benefit from reading this and learning more about how their position truly does affect the horse and also how to get your horse into a proper frame and strengthen their back.
