Dressage Principles Illuminated

In this beautifully written and illustrated book, you will sense Kunffy's uncompromising devotion to the horse. With great lucidity, he explains the rationale for training the horse and the methodology for doing it correctly. Great emphasis is placed on the importance of suppleness and collection, which lead to athletic development. Mr. de Knuffy categorically defends the classical tradition of horsemanship, which is grounded in pragmatic scientific facts of equestrian scholarship, and he supports the Baroque ideology that nature can be elevated to art through intelligent, proper human encouragement.
