Les Passeurs I – The oral memory of the squires of the Cadre noir

Intended for all those who seek to understand the man-horse relationship in a perspective of transmission of knowledge, this book offers an initial collection of unpublished testimonies on horseback riding in the French tradition through the life paths of the Cadre noir squires.

François de Beauregard

The Cadre noir is alive and has not remained frozen in an ancient tradition that we try to preserve but which has been expanded by teaching in particular and public presentations whose purpose is to stay up to date, to evolve and to make horse riding evolve.

Jean-Louis Guntz

I like horseback riding for this permanent uncertainty of being understood which always encourages one to question oneself.

Jacques Rémiat

A grand chief squire said: "One is not appointed squire, one becomes one." and I believe that it is only through work that one becomes one.

Mireille Belot-François

Traditional French riding is harmonious research, the absence of effects of strength, respect for the horse. In a word "the so-called French-style riding".
