Because of the great demand for the book: "The Rider Forms the Horse", which was first published in 1939, and the ongoing topicality of this topic, Xenophon Press decided to reissue this unique work. In this book, the authors Udo Bürger and Otto Zietzschmann describe the requirements for successful training and ultimately for a long and healthy life as a riding horse in a very understandable and clear way. The authors explain physiological findings as the basis for riding lessons and explain important clues for training the horse and recognizing and resolving training problems. This is confirmed by the team Olympic champion and former national trainer of dressage riders Klaus Strahlhol: Countless top horses disappear into obscurity due to improper training, never to be seen again, while other difficult and rather averagely gifted horses are transformed into top horses with good trainers. What is needed is an understanding of the connections between muscle activity and the skeleton in the interaction during the various training phases and lessons, regardless of which branch of riding you choose. Target group: For all responsible riders and trainers who are involved in the training of horses as well as for tournament judges and equine veterinarians

In presenting this book, which is a true story, I relate a dramatic chain of events featuring dynamic miracles. During a time frame of just over half a year, pertinent scriptures were quickened to me at a time of impending bankruptcy, after trials of childhood trauma, coping pshychologically with a twenty year old incurable wound, and the need for deliverance from evil spirits. The first chapter of this testimony presents the mystery that the names of books, and the numbers of chapter and verse of scriptures spontaneously came to mind twice in relatively quick succession when I travailed before God to get a word.. I rejected the first word because it baffled me and seemed irrelevant; therefore I tried again, only to receive a different text with exactly the same meaning, which, I believe, defied co-incidence: .....and whoever will not receive you, nor heed your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. Matthew 10:14 (italics mine) similar text from Luke 9:5 After recording the events of this book, I dwelt on amplifying the personification of the word city in an unrelated scripture: .....and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken, Isaiah 62:12 A mystery is thus unfolded to those of my readers, who will embrace this testimony of victory in the spirit and echo the words which are the theme of this book, the song of praise and thanksgiving that Moses sang when God brought the Israelites safely through the Red Sea: Sing unto the Lord For He has triumphed gloriously The horse and his rider Hath He thrown into the sea Exodus 15:1
