Gymnasium of the Horse: Fully footnoted and annotated edition.
German dressage Principles
Classical dressage text
Includes: Rider's Seat and Aids; Purpose of Dressage; Systematic Training of the Horse; School Movements; and Epilogue
Foundation text for dressage trainers and students.
First published in the late 19th century, this book is truly a work of remarkable coherence, comprehensiveness and depth of understanding. Steinbrecht's reputation as a master in the art of dressage makes The Gymnasium of the Horse a cornerstone of equestrian literature. Originally published in German; this translation from the 10th German edition by Helen K. Gibble, into English. Sections are: Rider's Seat and Aids; Purpose of Dressage; Systematic Training of the Horse; School Movements; Epilogue. Scarce title and long awaited for the many dressage enthusiasts who are familiar with the thoroughness with which Steinbrecht first addressed this topic.
