Den 28. januar 1742 skyller en synkeferdig seilskute opp på kysten av Brasil. Om bord er tretti avmagrede menn, knapt i live, som har en ekstraordinær historie å fortelle. De er overlevende fra Wager, et britisk fartøy som hadde forlatt England i 1740 for å jakte på en spansk gallion full av skatter.Wager hadde forlist på en øde øy utenfor Patagonia etter å ha rundet Kapp Horn. Her utviklet det seg til rent anarki. Kapteinen ble utsatt for mytteri, og mytteristene satte til havs igjen. De blir hyllet som helter da de omsider kommer seg hjem. Seks måneder seinere dukker kapteinen og hans menn opp i England. De har en helt annen historie å fortelle.Dette er en storslått fortelling om ekstreme utfordringer, overlevelse og selve kampen om verdensherredømme.

Gustav Steinbrechts Gymnasium of the Horse is one of the great milestones of equestrian literature, alongside Xenophon, de Pluvinel, Newcastle, and de la Gueriniere. It forms a connection and transition between two eras. On one hand, it is the culmination of the equestrian literature of the late 18th century and 19th century that, under the influence of the Industrial Revolution, tried to explain equine biomechanics by comparing the body to a mechanical device. On the other hand, it forms the theoretical foundation for the H. Dv. 12 German Cavalry Manual on the training of horse and rider [Xenophon Press 2014] and its successor, the Richtlinien fuer Reiten und Fahren of the German National Federation. The Gymnasium of the Horse belongs on every dressage riders bookshelf. Its the kind of book that needs to be studied, because every word is chosen deliberately, and every sentence is full of knowledge and meaning. Its a book that needs to be re-read regularly, because with each new reading, your understanding will evolve and deepen. It is a true classic, because it is universally accepted and admired, not only in Germany, but also in the rest of the dressage world, as it contains so much wisdom, so much invaluable advice that even 130 years later, it has lost nothing of its relevance. Steinbrecht formulates rules, principles, and guidelines for horse training more concisely and more sharply than almost any other author. His book has truly stood the test of time.
