In his new book, The Art of Performance, Willi Schönung addresses discipline-specific problems in sport horses in the fields of dressage, show jumping, eventing and horse racing.
 

As part of his international collaboration with Olympic athletes, numerous FEI top riders, trainers, farriers, saddlers and vets, Willi has discovered recurring, discipline-specific tension patterns and abnormalities during his treatments, which are discussed in this book. An understanding of these, in combination with a well-organized treatment plan, can help sport horses to significantly improve their performance.
 

This book also explores specific characteristics observed in sport horses. For instance, there are tensions or blockages that should not be released at some time, others should only be reduced, while others need to be addressed in a specific order.
