The Legacy of Master Nuno Oliveira

The Legacy of Master Nuno Oliveira

This book represents a fascinating compilation of conversations, notes from Nuno Oliveiraâ€™s lessons, biographical material and observations about his teachings, as well as a personal journey about what it was like to study under the Master despite a significant physical disability. Within these pages are pictures â€” including some never before published â€” that span the Masterâ€™s career. Also included are tributes to the Master written by prominent international riders who studied under him. A chapter examining the influence of Baucherism on Oliveiraâ€™s work includes important historical observations from noted French authors Michel Henriquet and Jean-Claude Racinet.
â€œNuno Oliveira occupies a unique place in equestrian history,â€ explains the author â€œWith his blending of the classical exercises of the Old Masters and his skilled interpretation of the innovations of FranÃ§ois Baucher, he took equitation to new heights of lightness, suppleness, and brilliance. His legacy now spans three generations. No other Master in living memory has so captured the art and poetry, the heart and soul, of classical equitation.â€
In the words of renowned author, Sylvia Loch: â€œStephanieâ€™s book is a masterpiece.â€ In this â€œbeautiful and important book,â€ Lochâ€™s introduction concludes, â€œNot only is there so much to share and learn, it is one of which the Mestre himself would be immensely proud.â€
