A surprising number of classical masters made their living in the circus (Baucher and Fillis, to name two) and horse training for the circus therefore has not only a proud, but also a classical, tradition.
The four small books first published in Britain in 1956 provided the only definitive work on this specialised branch of horsemanship; Antony Hippisley-Coxe translated and edited these four books and collected together in this volume by Sylvia Stanier.
A wonderful, practical and exciting book, beautifully illustrated. Both basic training principles and advanced training methods are described logically in a thorough, correct and easiily understood manner. Classical dresage riders may be surprised to see how little their discipline differs from circus high school riding, while producers of displays at horse shows cannot fail to appreciate the detailed descriptions of quadrilles and other large arena display routines.
Condition: hardback. As new, unread and unmarked.
