Kirja käsittelee ratsastuksenopettajien ja -valmentajien opetustekniikoita ja auttaa kehittämään niitä niin, että valmennettavat ratsastajat saavat parhaat puolensa esiin. Kirjan avulla opettaja voi soveltaa moderneja valmennustaitoja ratsastusurheilussa. Aiheina ovat muun muassa motivaatio, itseluottamuksen kasvattaminen, henkilökohtainen edistyminen, itsetunto ja itsearviointi, urheilupsykologia ja oppimisen mekanismit. Kirjoittaja selittää, miten näitä voidaan lähestyä ratsastusvalmennuksessa, on opetuksen kohteena sitten aloittelija, edistyneempi harrastaja tai huipulle tähtäävä kilparatsastaja.
