A. S. Barnes and Co., Published 1967. Hardcover, 337 pp.; 26 cm; illustrated with black-and-white photographs, line drawings and diagrams, color frontispiece. In Very Good condition with a Very Good dust jacket. Green cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine. Mild shelf and edge wear. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Pictorial dust jacket reproduces The Piqueur, an eighteenth-century hunting portrait from the Kranichstein hunting lodge near Darmstadt; a few small nicks and closed tears and light creasing along edges, a few small scuffs to front panel, faint toning to the cream panels and flaps, spot of soiling to lower rear panel, and mild shelf and edge wear. Now in an archival quality (removable) Brodart cover.[From front flap] Here at last is a single volume in which every principle and problem of Training, Instruction, Equitation, Hippology, and Organization of School, Stables, and Activities is analyzed and discussed from the viewpoints of all three participants (teacher, rider, and horse). Jean Froissard, one of France's most dynamic riding masters (and certainly the best-known among Paris-based riders from all countries, particularly those from the United States), speaks here to the young instructor who more often than not finds himself entrusted with beginning riders and with horses he must train or, worse, retrain.Froissard held the Ecuyer-Professeur degree, the French Equestrian Federation's highest teaching qualification; the Foreword to the American Edition is dedicated to the American pupils he prepared for the Federation examinations from 1953 to 1960. Translated by his wife, the English novelist Lily Powell-Froissard, whose The Bird of Paradise won the 1970 James Tait Black Memorial Prize. Endpapers reproduce a Crispin de Passe engraving from Pluvinel's L'Instruction du Roi (1625), the founding master-and-pupil treatise of the French school.
