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 matter
how 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

About the Author
Born in Cleveland, Ohio. He first rode at the age of ten while at summer camp, after which he took lessons with such well-known horsemen as Gordon Wright and Morton W. "Cappy" Smith. He rode sales horses for Smith, allowing him to hone his skills on various mounts. In 1941 Steinkraus reached the highest level of equitation competition when he won the ASPCA Maclay Cup in Hunter Seat Equitation and the Good Hands Finals in Saddle Seat Equitation at the National Horse Show. Following his early successes, Steinkraus left to attend Yale University. After his first year of college, he joined the cavalry branch of the Army and was one of the final classes to receive their training on horseback. He was then shipped to Burma during World War II, where he served as part of the 124th Cavalry Regiment from 1943-1945. He then returned to the United States and finished his education at Yale, being graduated in 1949. After college, Steinkraus focused on his riding career, and went on to join the Olympic team at the 1952 Helsinki Games. He also was a true amateur during this time, working as a businessman. Steinkraus retired from international competition at the end of 1972, following the show season, but continued to remain involved in the horse showing industry. This included involvement in the USET, either as president or chairman, from 1972-1992, and as an "Honorary Member" of the FEI Bureau. He also was a television commentator from 1976-1988 and a judge at the 1992 Olympic Games. As of 2008, he was still riding and playing chamber music.
Elaine Walker is a writer and consultant on the horse in cultural history. Her books include Horse (Reaktion), which was chosen for translation by the Kalima Project, and "To Amaze the People with Pleasure and Delight" The Horsemanship Manuals of William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle, (Xenophon) which began life as her PhD thesis. She has worked on projects for the Royal Historic Palaces Commission, the Royal Armouries, English Heritage, and Royal Mail, among others. She is currently working on a new book on the horses of the inland waterways, "In Search of the Boat Horse", forthcoming in 2020.
