Review Quotes: "...there have been many books written about training horses by people who have contributed to our fund of knowledge. There have also been many historical works which have touched upon our subject. Rarely have the two been so expertly blended together as they are in this book. The author does not treat the development of dressage in isolation, but skilfully places it within its' social, political, economic and military context." - Arthur Kottas-Heldenberg
