Souvenirs équestres – Général Wattel

The document we present to you is totally unpublished. He had been circulating for many years, among some teachers and dressage enthusiasts. It is the testimony of a great squire, coupled with an exceptional practitioner.

In the 21st century, the horse fascinates young and old alike, but it could be better known or better understood. May these memories of an illustrious squire make our equestrian heritage known, and thus contribute to explaining what the love of horses and their dressage was and is still.

Colonel Patrick Teisserenc: "Some elements particularly struck me when reading this work: the fascinating testimony on the development of equestrian sports from that period of the early 20th century, the portraits of some personalities he knew well in the world of riding and finally the very particular conception of the relationship between the rider and his horse.”
