our 2019 is rapidly closing, with the beautiful holiday of Christmas still several days away.
so on the gift giving and receiving note perhaps you may be interested in this 'libre' collection of two translations of the European ecuyer James Fillis' famous French work on equitation -
Principes de dressage et d'équitation - the 2nd, 1891 edition - the photos of exercises come from that edition, eye friendly -
below ecuyer Fillis in the Russian cavalry school uniform?
Breaking and riding, with military commentaries (American edition here) was translated by captain Horace Hayes, one of my favorite XIX century writers on horse.
Grundsätze der Dressur und Reitkunst was translated by Gustav Goebel( the published 1918 version).
In pre-war Poland it was published under the title Zasady ujeżdżania i jazdy konnej in 1930.
Valete
ps
I think I will post the entire chapter on the army horse.
