Originally published in France 1854 then translated into English in
1919 by John Swire. The author's methods are simple and practical.
He treats a horse like a human being; he maintains that the rider
can only influence his mount by placing it in such a position that
the movement desired is the only possible one, and then stimulating
it; the placing being made easy by specially graduated exercises
which supple the horse's will as well as his muscles. Contents
include: New method of giving the Rider a good Seat. - Control and
Distribution of Energy. - The Suppling Exercises. - Suppling the
Hindquarters. - The Use of the Horse's Energy by the Rider. -
Concentration of the Horse's Energy by the Rider. - The Canter. -
Jumping. - The Piaffer. - Scheme of Work. A Concise Explanation of
the Method by means of Question and Answer. . Many of the earliest
books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are
now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books
are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
