L'art du Manège - Guillaume Henry & Alain Laurioux

Discover the traditional French equestrian art, practiced at the Cadre noir

The squires of the Cadre Noir, formerly called «le Manège», have always practiced high school. They ride and educate their horses according to the principles of traditional French riding, now recognized as an intangible heritage by UNESCO. It is this equestrian art that they present during paintings like the pas de deux, les pas de trois, or during the famous revival of Manège. This book invites you to discover the history and principles that guide the écuyers, from the bass to the high school, from backstage to galas.
