Method of riding based on new principles by F. Baucher

The second edition of Baucher's Method, first published in 1842 and appearing in English here for the first time.

Includes a foreword by Dominique Ollivier, the original plates by L. Heyraud and the English translation, presented side-by-side with the original French (unchanged from the first edition).

Baucher, one of the greatest French riders of the 19th century, left behind a vast body of work that had an unprecedented impact on the world of horse riding.  In the modern era, when ethology and animal welfare have become a challenge facing civilisation, Baucher's Method is more relevant than ever.

This book offers English readers the opportunity to read this revolutionary work for themselves and, perhaps, to appreciate the alternative to other methods of riding on the market
