Book Description
"In my opinion, Harry Chamberlin is the founding father of equestrian sport in the United States. He has had a tremendous influence on the sport over the last sixty years, especially in riding methodology in show jumping." - George H. Morris "Using direct, simple language, General Harry Chamberlin presents an account of riding and training horses for the show ring and for hunting which the rawest novice can understand and which the most experienced horseman will ponder. His discussion of the seat, hands, jumping, application of the aids, and fundamental riding precepts, should be read and reread many times. The Chamberlin seat, an eclectic evolution of broad experience, is set forth with unanswerable common sense and logic." - John Cudahy "It takes a certain amount of genius, not just to see what others have seen, but to say things others have never said. Writing in clear, understandable prose, Chamberlin lays out his system, a system still in use nearly a century later. Not only could Chamberlin, a genius in the saddle, make it work, but his students and their students made it work. He was the leading light of the military horse world for three decades, and his influence continues to the present day. With his writings and teachings, Chamberlin satisfies one of the most sacred duties of a horseman: He produces a system of riding and training that truly preserves "the tranquility of the horse." -James Wofford Warren Matha introduces this new edition by Xenophon Press.

Book Description
William Cavendish, first Duke of Newcastle, was a man of great enthusiasms. A devoted Royalist and English Civil War General, his passions included women, music, writing, theatre and the finest horses. He was a widely acknowledged expert in the art of the riding house, which laid the foundations for classical dressage, and was the mark of a graceful and accomplished gentleman amongst the European nobility of the seventeenth century. Newcastle published two horsemanship manuals in 1658 and 1667, setting out his method for training the horse and, while he has been seen as a dilettante, his manuals reveal a level of dedication and precision which prove that to be untrue. In this first comprehensive study of Newcastle's manuals, Elaine Walker explores the insights they offer into his writing practice, personal philosophy and motivation, alongside their surprising relevance to the modern rider or any reader interested in the long history of human interaction with the horse. Through consideration of the manuals in their cultural context, Walker analyses Newcastle's contribution to the development of riding as an art and the way in which the texts were important to Newcastle himself during a turbulent life.

Book Description
Through the journey of our life, the road we travel presents each of us with many events and a myriad of emotions. Amidst it all, we may think that no one understands us especially not Jesus. Holly McKnight has a deep appreciation of this and has discovered that the valleys in our life and the resulting flood of emotions have been either felt by Jesus or addressed by Him in his teaching. In Jesus Understands ... Holly invites us into her journey of faith, and with persistence, determination and a bit of humour helps us to: See that Jesus experienced or taught about the emotions that we face every day. Understand that Jesus isn’t a distant stranger but rather a constant companion on whom we can rely and with whom we can communicate every day, all day. Remember that Jesus lived here too even if there was no Internet, wifi or social media and his experiences are just as real as ours. Recognize that the comfort and peace that comes from Jesus and His Father are second to none.

Book Description
Ecole de Cavalerie by Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere, one of the bibles of classical dressage, most famous for its introduction of the shoulder-in. According to Col. Alois Podhajsky, this is "the most revolutionary book on riding of all times. Its principles are still applied unaltered at the Spanish Court Riding School and may be seen there in daily use." by Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere William Steinkraus writes: "The first of the great 18th-century masterpieces, Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere's Ecole de Cavalerie, boasts not only a marvelous and ground-breaking text---a cornerstone of modern dressage---but also superb engraved plates by Charles Parrocel. La Gueriniere's work is still considered the equestrian 'Bible' of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, and though it has only recently been translated word for word into English, it stands as an enduring landmark of equestrian literature."

Book Description
The future of "Dressage" is at a crossroads today. That sounds like a dramatic statement but it is very true. Competitive Dressage is abandoning the very rules that its top governing body, the Federation Equestre Internationale (F. E. I.) is responsible to uphold, leading to a crisis in Competitive Dressage. Money and popularity rule the day. From their inception, the F. E. I. rules were established to protect horses and to uphold the basic principles that are true for all horses, regardless of the style of riding. Broken or Beautiful explains in-depth: What the rules are, Why they are important, How they are being disrespected, and How they are causing harm to horses. For every top competitor today, there are thousands of riders copying what is perceived as "good training" because their role models are "winning." So-called "Modern Dressage" is being imitated by the masses to the extreme detriment of the horse. We offer an alternative path to the many dressage riders that are questioning what is on display in the competitive world today, riders that want to re-affirm and follow the Correct Classical Principles. The prevailing measure of all correct dressage training is to help the horse to become the happy athlete that is so often mentioned in the F. E. I. Rule Book. We offer this book in love of the Horse, love of Dressage, love of beauty, and joy that can honestly be part of our everyday experience with our horses, both in and out of the show ring.
