Dominique Barbier takes the reader to an almost spiritual place in his expansive explanation of the sport and art of dressage. Almost certainly, the reader will come to understand the horse and the human connection to the horse through this reading. Barbier's explanation of the movements is clear and often brilliantly basic. A compassionate rider of any level will benefit from this work. It is also the kind of book one would want to read again and again for inspiration.

This is the first book I've taken the time to write a review for. This is a WONDERFUL book! I highly recommend it. The insights that it provides are invaluable. No horseman's book shelf should be without this one. Thank you Dominique Barbier.

Dominique Barbier's philosophy takes riding to a new level!! Acknowledging the spiritual nature of the horse-human relationship Barbier encourages to take the leap and explore equestrian art as a play of higher consciousness. Complicated mechanical concepts are replaced by brilliantly simple techniques that bring a newfound lightness and harmony to the dance.
An awe-inspiring book that you want to read over and over!!!
