Here is a fascinating book which explains, in detail, the education of three young horses in the classical tradition. This is the first English translation of 'Gymnase et Dressage', written by Michel Henriquet, a pupil of Nuno Oliveira. Oliveira himself is a student of such figures as Baucher, La Gueriniere, and Steinbrecht. With such a revered background, Henriquet has passed on here a wealth of knowledge to those students of classical equitation.
The training of these horses is divided into sections, which the author classifies as: the time to understand, the time to learn, the time to do and the time to perfect. The book follows the progress of the training of these three young horses, thereby providing guidance and insight into the classical tradition.
