About this product
Product Information
An illuminating look at the story behind the success of one of the best dressage riders in the world. German Olympian Isabell Werth has six Olympic gold medals and scores of championship titles to her name--there are few her equal on paper. But an equestrian's success is wholly dependent on the relationship she has with her athletic partnerher horseand Werth's astounding accomplishments would not have been possible without her unique approach to working with the animals she's loved since childhood. Even as a little girl, growing up on a farm on the Lower Rhine, it was clear that Werth possessed an extraordinary gift for empathizing with horses and foreseeing how they were likely to react in certain situations. This insight gave her a special ability as a rider and trainer. Here, Werth collaborates with accomplished sports journalist Evi Simeonisomeone who has witnessed and written about her career from the very beginningto tell her life story. Readers will get the inside scoop when it comes to Werth's accomplishmentsand her failures, too. They'll hear her personal thoughts regarding some of the biggest controversies to rock the dressage world: Rollkur and Totilas. Perhaps most importantly, they'll learn about each of the sensitive and talented horses that has impacted Werth's life, including Gigolo, Satchmo, and Bella Rose. There is a meme that is popular in the riding community that says, "Two legs move our body, four legs move our soul." It is this sentiment that Werth feels perhaps best defines her.

Reviews
"The book contains detailed chapters dedicated to the key horses of Isabell's life and the topics and relationships that shaped her career. It's a compelling read, with refreshingly honest commentary from Isabell, and is ideal for anyone with a love of dressage." -- Horse & Hound, "The narrative flows somewhat like a stream of consciousness, which lets the reader feel as if they are hearing the story firsthand." -- unTACKED "You don't have to be a dressage rider to love Four Legs Move My Soul by Isabell Werth and Evi Simeoni. [It's] beautifully written and amazingly insightful.... Four Legs Move My Soul is truly a book to rejoice over. Even the title comes from a philosophical meme popular among equestrians that 'two legs move our body, four legs move our soul.' Werth shares her triumphs and failures, her hopes, dreams, and fears. She shares the people in her life who have meant so much including dressage trainer Dr. Uwe Schulten-Baumer, and friend Madeleine Winter-Schulz. This fascinating book draws back the curtain for a glimpse into the hardcore workings of training, competition challenges, the pressures, and the high-powered connections that put talented horses and riders together on the quest for gold. It's an absolute must-read for any horse lover." -- Horse Journals "The book contains detailed chapters dedicated to the key horses of Isabell's life and the topics and relationships that shaped her career.

It's compelling throughout, with refreshingly honest commentary from Isabell interspersed with the third-person narrative. For anyone with a love of dressage--or simply an interest in top level sport and its characters--this is a must-read." --Horse & Hound, "The narrative flows somewhat like a stream of consciousness, which lets the reader feel as if they are hearing the story firsthand." -- unTACKED

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

Thank you so much for the quick response and delivery. I have not ordered from eBay in many years. You have renewed my trust that there are some professional sellers I can work with through eBay not just Amazon. Thanks again!☺️
