A New System of Horsemanship

A practical manual offers systematic instruction in riding and training horses, distinguishing useful riding basics from ornamental maneuvers. It explains the rider's seat, hand, body aids, methods to correct disobedience, and progressive schooling exercises for trot, stop, gallop, and backing. Later chapters outline techniques to collect and unite the horse, lateral work, changes of hand, voltes, and advanced haute-école actions such as pesades, mezair, caprioles, curvets, croupades, and balotades, plus steps and leaps. The text combines technical terminology with step-by-step guidance aimed at both elementary safety and refined performance.
