It’s crazy and sad that this isn’t a more well known piece. The information in here is sooo intriguing and is a must read for any equestrian.

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2009*

Excellent book by the expert school master Phillipe Karl.  He reveals the problems and extreme contradictions that are found in the FEI's continual references to the great masters of dressage and he exposes the flaws in current trends of dressage training.He also reveals the truth of how horses are often thrown out of natural balance and harmony by much of today's dressage show training.  With plenty of photographs, diagrams, and patterns and indicated weight distributions and charts, he completely unravels the falicy of today's dressage which has substituted a form of showmanship dressage which is forced, flat, and very hard, often breaking down the horse.  Photos of competition pros and the incorrect positions of their horses reveals the truth.Phillipe Karl offers resolutions to these problems with a proper interpretation from the great masters who wrote the books on dressage. He offers solutions to each of the problems presented and a variety of ways to approach the resolutions in a natural non-invasive way for the horse!The book is very informative, mapped out well and intelligently written with plenty of proof and research and experiments that were done to prove all of his claims.  I also found it to be proven by his set of FOUR dynamic training videos which shows the same horses in the book being worked and schooled in the videos - proof that lightness, true suppleness and ease is achieved through gentle training.  I have his ground training long lining book, all his videos, and this wonderful book and it has been well worth it!  Learning these techniques has been phenomenal and I have added it to my library of equine training.  As a professional natural horse trainer and dressage trainer, I can fully endorse the proven techniques and material in this book!  What a great training and reference source!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    great book for everyone!!!
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2015*

I can't sing the praises of this book enough! The title makes it sound like a criticism of dressage but in fact Philippe fills in the gaps that are left in many dressage handbooks. The difference it has made in my ridding is enormous, and in the horses, using this method I see change and improvement rapidly! When I started reading I was not a dressage rider, just someone looking for a better way to ask my very fast horse to slow down and collect because everything I had tried she had found a way to evade. Almost four years latter we are still hard at work and greatly improved, and very close to achieving piaffe. My mare is 24 and she is going strong largely ,I believe, to changing the way I rode. In many ways she has better movement and self carriage now than she did five years ago. I love that in this philosophy of ridding anyone with any horse is capable of achieving higher level movements no matter previously experience or the natural talent of the horse. I tell everyone I meet about this book and I hope you will to!
