Advertisements-France-Saumur-19th century.
This manual, which took several years to write, was entrusted to equestrian instructors Jean-Baptiste Cordier and Antoine-Bénigne Flandrin and was put into immediate service at the École de Cavalerie in Saumur (Western France). The École de cavalerie is a French military training establishment. Originally set up to train the cavalry of the French Army, it now trains the troops of France's Arme Blindée et Cavalerie (Armoured Cavalry Arm) in reconnaissance and armored warfare. From 1830, with the disappearance of the École de Versailles, Saumur became the capital and sole repository of the French equestrian tradition, and its knowledge (such as in the Cadre Noir and its training regime in dressage) is still recognised throughout the world. The present volume is of both military and equestrian interest. With the present two volumes an "Atlas du Cours d'Equitation militaire" was published. We have been unable to locate a copy of it on the market. (#2794). --From invoice.
