ESSENTIAL VIEWING ~ The Philosophy of Ease

Classical Dressage Schooling Series by Philippe Karl. A schooling series of four DVDs produced by Thomas Vogel of Pferdia TV. Philippe Karl's Philosophy of Ease was inspired by riding masters such as François Robichon de la Guérinière, François Baucher, Captain Etienne Beudant and General Alexis François L'Hotte. It is founded on the absolute respect of the horse. Philippe Karl's personal training scale of Légèreté shows a logical and practical way of schooling horses systematically and without force or constraining instruments (such as side reins and running reins). The DVD series Classical Dressage opens new horizons within the actual Dressage world and demonstrates how misjudged and misunderstood the most brilliant ancient masters are today.  For sale from all good saddlery stores or the Pferdia TV link above.
