Les Sauts d'école

Discover the school jumps practiced at The Cadre noir

The courbette, the croupade and the cabriole are introduced in the teaching of horses and riders from the creation of the Manège, in 1825. These three airs, called school jumps, allowed to prove the value and the solidity of the riders in saddle, and represented the culmination of the dressage of the horse.

Once slightly different, they have evolved to acquire a style specific to Saumur, as we know it today.

This book invites you to discover the choice, the harness and the training of jumpers, from backstage to galas.
