Description

François Baucher's work on modern equitation was marked by controversy in 19th century France. His innovative ideas, including the one tempi flying changes at the canter, were met with resistance from some quarters. Despite this, Baucher is now widely recognized as a skilled horseman and exponent of classical dressage. This book presents two of Baucher's most important publications: New Method of Horsemanship and Dialogues on Equitation. A scholarly study of these works provides insight into the arguments surrounding their introduction to France. Professor Hilda Nelson's work offers a fascinating perspective on an influential theory of horsemanship. Through its translation and analysis, this book sheds new light on Baucher's contributions to the development of modern equitation.
