Philippe Karl Orden de los libros (cronológico)

One of the most outspoken critics of the modern dressage world reveals some disturbing facts about the physical, anatomical, and mental effects through official dressage guidelines as issued by the German Horse Society (FN) on horses. By comparing these with philosophies of masters of classical riding such as La Gueriniere and Baucher, he shows possible solutions to the challenging situation of modern competitive dressage. After describing the effects of modern dressage, breeding, and business, the author suggests a classical alternative—the philosophy of "legerity."

This classic book demonstrates the French method of training a horse in long reins and how it is possible to attain as high a standard of schooling from the ground as that reached under saddle.
