He insists that riding must be restorative and therapeutic before it can successfully school horses to gymnastic excellence. Riders must be schooled appropriately in developing riding skills and acquiring the virtues that can earn their place in the equestrian arts.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith great lucidity, Charles de Kunffy explains the rationale and methodology for training horses correctly. Suppleness and collection are the principles ever-present and pursued by classical schooling of the horse. Classical horsemanship is so named because it is based on the enduring triumph toward the correct athletic development of horses. By following the enlightened baroque ideology, human intellect can lead toward pragmatic and scientific equestrian scholarship. The understanding that by improving the functions of random nature by benevolently grooming and developing its latent talents, one can elevate nature to the level of art. Therefore, riders often triumph in advancing horses to perform movements of great eloquence by minimum energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis Xenophon Press Expanded Edition of \u003ci\u003eDressage Principles Illuminated\u003c\/i\u003e expands on his earlier edition with expanded text and additional illustrative photographic material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\"Horses form their riders from within and foster the development of courage, humility, quickness of judgment, self-discipline, self-control, and focus.
