One of the most important works ever written on dressage, "Breaking
and Riding" is essential reading for the serious dressage
enthusiast. In this work, the result of a lifetime spent training
horses, James Fillis (1834-1913) clearly explains his theories and
methods, starting with the basics of breaking--lungeing, work in
hand, and first mounting--and progressing to advanced work,
including canter pirouette, tempi changes, piaffe, and passage.
Throughout the work, Fillis always returns to his basic principle:
The horse must be "correctly balanced and light in forward
movements and propulsion, in order that the rider may obtain the
most powerful effects with the least exertion." Fillis was an
apprentice to a student of the legendary trainer Francois Baucher.
In this book, while expressing admiration for Baucher, Fillis also
explains in detail the ways in which he believed Baucher was
mistaken in some of his methods.
