BELASIK, PAUL

The Essential Paul Belasik Riding Towards the Light; Exploring Dressage Technique; the Songs of Horses

North Pomfret, VT: Trafalgar Square Publishing, 2002. First Edition. First Printing; Hardcover. ISBN: 1570762120. Inscribed on front end paper "TO ANNE, BEST WISHES, PAUL BELASIK". Cover is green with gold lettering on spine. Pages are clean and tight, DJ in mylar cover. This is the first compilation of Paul's original three books, now bound together as one title. For anyone who rides dressage, wanting to know why, and how, and how to do it better, what should it feel like and look like, this is absolutely the most perfect book. In these three titles Paul takes you along on his journey, training with modern masters, reading and learning all he can about previous masters, always seeking the purest, best way to achieve the ultimate perfection of horse and rider as one, dancing partners, floating together in unison through the equestrian art of dressage. If you've had the privilege of watching Paul teach, and ride [I've luckily done so many times], you understand how he is truly to be considered a modern master. If you've had the even rarer privilege of seeing Paul and Eli [the late St. Graal], doing the levade about 10 feet away from you [as I have], creating equestrian art with every move, from living flesh, including tempis, passage, piaffe, pirouettes, and so forth, then the tingle going up your spine makes you realize that riding perfection isn't just a fantasy, it does exist here on earth; alas, a dream achieved by the few, but eternally sought by most dressage riders. Paul writes as well as he rides, bringing you along on his quest and into his thoughts. He is included in Martin Diggle's 'Masters of Equitation' series [those titles are also available]. With Dr. Hilary Clayton [McPhail Chair Emerita at Michigan State Univ] he has assisted in ground breaking studies of equine biomechanics and locomotion [Dr. Clayton's books are also available]. Excellent companion books to this title: Masters of Equitation on Trot; Masters of Equitation on Canter [both edited by Martin Diggle], and Conditioning Sport Horses, the classic by Dr. Hilary Clayton; all are available in my listings. Multiple copies of all of these books are available. ; B&W Illustrations; 6 1/2 x 9 1/2; 128, 144, 125 pages; Signed by Author. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .

CAVENDISH, WILLIAM, DUKE OF NEWCASTLE

A General System of Horsemanship Facsimile Reproduction of the Edition of 1743

North Pomfret, VT: Trafalgar Square Publishing, 2000. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. ISBN: 1570761515. Cover is green with gold lettering on the spine. Illustrated with 42 engravings from the 1743 edition. Introduction by William Steinkraus; technical commentary by E. Schmit-Jensen. Green endpapers. Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. The 42 plates are at the back of the book, and followed by 'a Dictionary explaining the Technical Terms that belong to the Stud, Stable, Manage, and Farriery; or whatever relates to Horses", and an index. Cavendish [1593-1676] was one the acknowledged European riding masters of the 17th century. This book was originally published in French, in Antwerp, in 1658, while he was in exile from Commonwealth England. The book is dedicated to "His Grace Charles, Duke of Richmond, Lenox and Aubigny, Master of the Horse to His Majesty, etc..." This Charles was the Prince of Wales, later Charles II, himself a renowned a horseman, and one of the primary founders of thoroughbred breeding in England, helping to make Newmarket the center of English racing. Cavendish' emphasis on systematic and humane training was revolutionary for its era and his teaching still exerts a strong influence several centuries later. He is credited with developing the lateral move, the shoulder-in, to help train the horse to step under his body more with his inside hind leg, leading to greater collection. An absolute must for any horse book collection, with superb b/w engravings. Dressage today is also about extension, as well as collection, and the Duke, as a man of his time, focused on how to achieve the greatest collection possible for his horse. But his thoughts on horse training and movement hold as true today as they did 350 years ago. ; A Trafalgar Square Classic Series; B&W Illustrations; 6 1/4 x 9 1/2; 142+ pages.
