Barefoot, treeless, and occasionally bitless


« on: April 20, 2006, 04:34:35 PM »

I read it in 1978 or so. It was in the local library - so probably wasnt a new book even then.

It has training of the horse including, I think, some about jumping. but mainly dressage work.

I think it was a translation from a continental book.

It had paragraphs, with headings, on "descente de maine", "ramener", "Mise en Main" and I think probably "rassembler".


Anyone any ideas? I've looked at loads of books, since, and never spotted THIS one. I want to read it again cos it might make real sense now!

Could have been 'Give Your Horse a Chance' by Col D'Endrody, who was a Hungarian trainer?

Could be "reflexions on equestrian Art" by Nuno Oliveira, he uses that king of expressions. But with jumping exercices, probably not!  rolleyes

It wasnt a book with lots of colour photos - there were photos - they might have only been black & white.

What is the date of that one?

Looked it up - it was printed 1999 - so wasnt the one I read in 1978 or 1979.

Reflections on Equestrian Art was originally published in 1976 (according to my copy) so it could be that?

If it had jumping in it Issy, it certainly wasnt by Nuno Oliveira!! I doubt if it was Reflections, as it is a small, slim book, which is more a collection of Oliveira quotes/gems of wisdom, than an actual text book. Hmmm, you have got me puzzled now! It is obviously French school- sounds as if it could be a Cadre Noir member, especially if jumping is included.

Hmmm, that's true, I hadn't read the post properly!!!  :blush:  The only reference to jumping in that is a line about about preparing the jumper for new demands just the same as preparing a dressage horse or any horse in any training!  Smiley

No idea I'm afraid Issy.

might not have had jumping of course.... it was quite a few years ago.

isn't Henry Wynmalen either - just checked.

Was a largish thickish book. Detailed, but readable...

Certainly Beudant's Horse Training - Out Door and High School includes B&W pics, jumping, and mention of Rassembler etc. but it isn't what I'd call a big book.  (Even if it isn't the one you're thinking of it's WELL worth getting hold of, though  Smiley )
