THE ESSENTIAL ANJA BERAN Collected Articles on Classical Horsemanship The first-ever English translation. In Collected Articles on Classical Horsemanship, internationally respected classical dressage trainer Anja Beran shares a decade of thought-provoking essays originally published in the German journals ReitKultur and Feine Hilfen. Now available for the first time in English, this collection offers readers a comprehensive exploration of the principles, philosophy, and practice of horse-centered classical horsemanship. Drawing on decades of experience training horses according to the classical tradition, Beran examines many of the most important—and often misunderstood—subjects in modern dressage. With clarity, insight, and uncompromising dedication to the horse's welfare, she discusses the rider's seat, correct posture, rhythm, straightness, collection, stretching, groundwork, the education of the young horse, contact, piaffe, flying changes, canter work, lateral movements, nosebands, auxiliary reins, and much more.

Whether addressing everyday training challenges or broader questions of equestrian ethics and culture, Beran consistently reminds readers that classical horsemanship begins with respect for the horse and a commitment to correct riding.

Thoughts on the Parade Riders' Fear of the Piaffe Thoughts on Rhythm How Much Groundwork D…
