  • - Completely Footnoted Collector's Edition
    av Gustav Steinbrecht
    705,-

    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.

  • - A blueprint for the serious rider
    av Miguel Tavora
    434,-

    Miguel de Lancastre e Tavora was a master rider, trainer, and instructor. His genuine love and care for the well-being of horses comes through on every page. His Kind, calm, and methodical approach is laid out in a progressive sequence that adheres strictly to the principles of the FEI.Christopher Hector speaks of his lessons with Miguel Tavora (quoted from his introduction):"This is a work book, a blueprint for the serious rider. After the training sessions I had with Miguel-when I was back home riding, I suddenly had a whole new vocabulary of school movements, of techniques to apply. "Just as every training session with Miguel developed gently, logically, each step, each exercise building on the last, so too this work. I know of no other book in the English language that provides such sophisticated and detailed prescriptions for horse and rider as they move to the ultimate goal: collection, and horse and rider as one. "So much of the 'dressage' we see in the competition ring is distressing to watch. Riders leaning back, rudely, crudely pushing their horses into hard and unyielding hands. Is it any wonder that their horses go hollow, shorten behind, and wave their front legs in an extravagant manner that fools only the ignorant? Sadly, this group includes a number of five-star international judges. "What I find so puzzling is that this style of training not only produces such a sorry result, but it is so taxing on both horse and rider. The rider must ride the whole time in a state of tension, to balance the tension he has provoked in the horse. It is oh-so-different when I watch Miguel work with one of his talented pupils. Here the rider is relaxed and soft and the horse willingly gives his back. As the exercises progress, the horse and rider move into a balance that is as beautiful as it is functional. "Do yourself and your horse a favour. Study this book. Use it as your day-to-day guide. I promise it will reward you and your horse many times over."

He explains that through proper training informed with an understanding of the interactions between muscular activity and the skeleton during the different training phases, average horses can become top horses.Veterinarian Gerd Heuschmann believes that good and well-thought-out riding is the only and best protection against all health problems for horses.Dr. Gerd Heuschmann views this book as mandatory reading for responsible sport and recreational riders, trainers, judges and veterinarians, regardless of their disciplines.This book is for all responsible riders and trainers who are involved in the training of horses as well as for tournaments, judges, and equine veterinarians alike.
