Description

The Essentials of Captain Charles Raabe's Method of High School Dressage, written by Albert Decarpentry, and now translated to English for the first time by Richard F. Williams, brings to light one of the great treasures of classical equitation. Raabe is best known for codifying the work in hand with the whip, a clear and systematic method to supple the horse and prepare it for piaffe. Step by step, his approach develops balance, lightness, and responsiveness, leading naturally to the airs of high school. Decarpentry presents Raabe's insights with clarity, showing how this tradition values harmony, soundness, and respect for the horse. This timeless work is an essential guide for riders and trainers seeking to understand the foundation of classical dressage. "Raabe's Method of High School Dressage (1863) is the most complete and detailed work ever written on this subject in our equestrian literature. It is a valuable guide for riders who wish to undertake the study of artistic equitation." - General Albert Decarpentry
