Equitation as a sport and an art, has developed over the centuries against a background of different types and breeds of horses, and varying equestrian requirements. Not surprisingly, this has given rise to a number of schools, or philosophies, which place different degrees of emphasis on certain principles. By delving into the wealth of literature available, it is possible to discover these philosophies, and draw from them valuable ideas and information. However, because of the volume of material available. this rewarding process can also be extensive, expensive and time- consuming.
The MASTERS OF EQUITATION series gathers together, under individual subject headings, many of the key thoughts of eminent equestrians from past centuries down to the present day. The series does not seek to promote any one school or philosophy over others, but simply provides a ready source of reference to the ideas of many acknowledged Masters. The reader is invited to research, compare and contrast -and may find special significance in areas of obvious consensus. The first two titles in the series are: :THE TROT
THE CANTER
More are planned and it is intended that the series will eventually form a mini-reference library for anyone interested in academic and practical equitation.
Horseweb-UK says..Neatly published in hardback. From the teachings of Xenophon to the well known trainers and riders of modern day, both past and present, the author has compiled together their methods and observations on every detail of these subjects, from improvement and advancement of the paces to the faults encountered also. True pearls of wisdom!
