Jean-Claude Racinet has devoted his life to the vindication of "L'equitation de L'egerete" (riding in lightness) which fosters balance by relaxing the horse-more so his mouth-excluding force in the wielding of the aids. Also written by Racinet:Total Horsemanship, Racinet Explains Baucher This practical manual, describes the horsemanship of French Tradition - characterized by lightness - from a down-to-earth point of view. Born in Paris in 1929, Jean-Claude Racinet is a graduate of St. Cyr, the French West Point, Class of 1950. He was a member of the French contingent in Korea (1950-53), where he was wounded twice.

Hablar de Córdoba es hablar de caballos y hablar de éstos es hacerlo de Córdoba, son un binomio que para nuestra fortuna ha permanecido inseparable a lo largo de siglos. Este libro esboza la historia ecuestre de la ciudad eterna, y por extensión de parte de la de Andalucía y España. Desde el desarrollo del magno proyecto real de las Caballerizas Reales de Córdoba por Felipe ii, que dio origen al caballo andaluz, a las vicisitudes del sector ecuestre durante los siglos xix y xx. Siglos que tuvieron sus momentos de sombras para el mundo del caballo ?con el triunfo de la automoción y la desaparición del animal como fuerza motriz? y de luces ?con el nuevo resurgir del caballo en el ocio y el deporte, ahora también como motor económico per se?. Unas pinceladas para conocer y amar al noble bruto y a la ciudad que vio nacer la raza más bella y noble del mundo: el caballo andaluz.
When Weyrother was posted to Vienna the SRS was the only school left that concerned itself with the methodical practice of the art of high-school and, with the cultivation and the preservation of the purity of equine locomotion. There were quite a few very good cavalry schools throughout Europe but all had to fulfil a practical brief which demanded immediate results. The only other school devoted to the art of pure riding was the School of Versailles in France. This was closed after the French revolution and thus the SRS remained the sole guardian of the art. Ironically though, French ideas and practices that were lost to France, never to be fully recovered, found a new home in the School of Vienna.It was perhaps Weyrother's greatest gift to Austrian horsemanship, and therefore to that of the world, that he introduced the school to the writings of the great French Ecuyer, de la Gu?rini?re, the founder of modern dressage. The twenty years or so that Weyrother served the Vienna school were dedicated to the installing, practising and promoting of de la Gu?rini?re's principles and equestrian legacy as described
