V DE L'ASSOUPLISSEMENT.
In this classic treatise the author argues that humanity’s superior intellect should be used to cooperate with, not dominate, the horse. Drawing on decades of personal experience, he critiques the harsh, inconsistent methods of earlier writers and proposes a humane approach centered on restoring the animal’s natural balance. The early pages lay out the philosophical foundation for “equilibrium of the first and second kind,” explaining how a rider’s subtle use of hands, legs and feeling can coax a horse toward a lighter, more graceful movement.
The work then introduces a series of practical innovations, beginning with a uniquely designed bit and progressing to a remarkably simple bridle that promises to tame even the most spirited mount without cruelty. Throughout, the author stresses that true mastery requires careful study under a skilled instructor who can convey the nuanced, almost invisible cues a horse responds to. Readers will discover a method that blends scientific observation with compassionate training, offering a fresh path for riders eager to work with their horses in harmony.
