April 2006 Taine and Lesage


Incredible footage of an incredible team. Lesage and Taine, the Gold Medal Winners of the 1932 Olympics
Please note that you will need high speed internet to access this video.
This month at Horses For LIFE, not only do we
celebrate this incredible historical footage, but the words of many
masters, from Wynmalen on Aiding through Positioning, to Albrecht on
Training Flying Changes, from Decarpentry on straightening the
diagonals, to Knopfhart on the true collected rein back.
As always, we have two free articles this month. The
first is the second part of a two part series of Dressage Today,
Yesterday and Tomorrow, especially poignant looking at Lesage and Taine
and seeing what differences there are from yesterday to today.
