The New Method of Dressing Horses
"The Xenophon Press new edition offers the modern rider direct access to one of the greatest minds in the development of the classical equestrian tradition. The Duke of Newcastle's insight into the equine mind and the accessibility of his keen wit mean that's approach to the horse still has merit. Most importantly, his great love for his subject and faith in the value of horsemanship as an art offer a lasting inspiration that transcends time and context."Elaine Walker, Ph.D.
"This book was the fruit of Newcastle's equestrian pursuits and represents something quite remarkable, hardly to be compared to the typical treatise a retired riding master, no matterhow expert-it constitutes nothing less than a labor of love by one of the ablest minds of its age at the height of its powers, applied, through a stroke of fate, to the problems of the horseman."William Steinkraus
"No one interested in the history of dressage and equitation can afford to ignore Cavendish, and any contemporary rider interested in improving his or her horsemanship can benefit from his technical insights. Cavendish advanced the evolution of French dressage in the 17th and 18th centuries, he strongly influenced French and German dressage in the 19th century, and he stands almost without question as the most important English dressage master of any century." - Charles Caramello
