AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare, richly illustrated edition of one of the fundamental texts of equestrian literature. The treatise, first published in 1733, is organized systematically: anatomy and knowledge of the horse, principles of training, description of high-school movements, and a section devoted to the conservation and health of the animal. The refined engraved plates show exercises, postures, and riding figures, transforming the volume into a true atlas of equitation.
The author, François Robichon de La Guérinière (1688–1751), was écuyer du roi and director of the Manège des Tuileries in Paris. Considered the father of French classical riding, he adeptly fused Italian tradition and French rigor, giving shape to a method destined to endure for centuries.
Available only Volume I (of 2).
