Learn about the history and practice of French dressage from a modern master. Jean-Claude Barry, a former instructor at the French National Riding School in Saumur and member of the prestigious Cadre Noir, explains how French dressage principles and methods are applied for a style of riding that embodies grace, ease, and harmony. The points he makes are illustrated with beautiful equine photography by Clotilde Peters.
