John Solomon Rarey - La méthode Rarey mise à la portée de tous par le Vte de R.M. démonstration des positions - 1838

Fascinating illustrated edition with 5 engravings of this small manual devoted to the method of training and subduing horses associated with the American horseman John Solomon Rarey, whose methods spread widely in Europe starting from the late 1850s -

The work presented here exposes this method in a practical and accessible form, placing particular emphasis on the positions that the horse, the trainer and the various limbs of the animal should take during the exercises -

The objective is to progressively obtain the horse's confidence and submission by affecting its balance, its movements and its reactions, rather than merely trying to restrain it by force -
