Reflections on Equestrian Art

Rating:
Summary: The heart of classical equitation!
Review: Should be required reading for all modern-day dressage riders and anyone who truly believes in achieving harmony with his or her horse! Not a specific "how to" book, but rather the core of the master Oliveira's philosophy of classical horsemanship succinctly and powerfully stated. His was a school of horsemanship that expected and achieved a level of lightness and collection rarely attained in today's competitive dressage horse. As Sylvia Loch said in her book (also highly recommended) Dressage: The Art of Classical Riding, Nuno Oliveira was " . . .a man who could bring magical steps out of the most ordinary horse, a man who rode like a king, so that his horses carried him like a king."

Summary: Nuno Oliveira, The Master
Review: This book is written by probably the greatest horse master in the 20th century. A book that every horse lover, and especially dressage rider, must have. It is a pity that only one (I believe) of six books is translated into English.

Summary: THE MASTER
Review: THIS IS THE DISTILLED WISDOM OF THE GREATEST HORSEMAN OF THIS CENTURY. IT IS A WONDERFUL COMPANION

Rating:
Summary: Short book from one of the masters in classical riding
Review: This short book don't give much explanation on how to give the right aids or how to train your horse. But it is quite easy read and might wake up your desire to learn more. As inspiration boook rather than school book I think it is good.
