Long Reining: The Saumur Method – Philippe Karl

April 30, 2009 / Christophe Krowchuk / Recommended Books
2

Philippe Karl presents the French method of training a horse in long reins, as practiced at Cadre Noir in Saumur. It is possible to reach as high a standard of schooling in the log reins from the ground as it is under saddle. This book deals with a lot of advanced training concepts, however, I think every trainer can benefit from reading the principles of this book.
