Horsemanship by Waldemar Seunig - Hardcover (2003)

Originally written in 1941 and translated into English in 1956, this is a highly regarded work on the training of the horse and its rider. Having spent years at the top European riding schools, Seunig offers a synthesis of this knowledge. He explores all aspects of horsemanship, from the horse itself to the physical and psychological requirements of a good rider. He discusses the development of the rider's seat and use of aids, provides an in depth course of instruction for the young horse and rider, and ultimately works through advanced work. Truly a ride from the basics to haute école!
