One of the most outspoken critics of the modern dressage world reveals some disturbing facts about the physical, anatomical, and mental effects through official dressage guidelines as issued by the German Horse Society (FN) on horses. By comparing these with philosophies of masters of classical riding such as La Gueriniere and Baucher, he shows possible solutions to the challenging situation of modern competitive dressage. After describing the effects of modern dressage, breeding, and business, the author suggests a classical alternative—the philosophy of “legerity.”

Twisted Thruths…
There is a distinction within ‘German’ systems that should be considered. I would kindly suggest to Mr.Phillipe Karl to study carefully work of Gustav Steinbrecht, W.

Fantastic
Excellent such a book has been written to explain what is happening to our horses in the world purely for the arrogant vanity of man.
