(From the publisher) - Originally, written and published in 1949, Academic Equitation was considered by dressage experts to be the most important contribution to classical training in the twentieth century.

This book was intended as a preparation for international dressage competitions but is far more than this. It discusses the subjects of academic equitation, the riding master, and the choice of horse before introducing the reader to the author's systematic program, covering the very early training right up to the most advanced movements. The appendix deals with longeing, work in hand, long reins, and pillar work.
