My Friesian stallion character saddled and dressed up at court
~~~
Baroque riding is the origin of today's classical dressage.
It can be traced back to Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere, who was Louis the 15th's stable manager from 1730-1751 and held the title of "riding master of the king".
He is considered the official founder of the riding academy and author of the book "Ecole de Cavalerie" (The Cavalry School). According to his definition, the horse should be ridden for pleasure in the training of the high school - competitions and self-expression should play no or only a subordinate role.
The Baroque horse is described as a 'square horse', with a swan neck set as high as possible and a strong back. According to Robinchon, training includes lunging at the cross fence, riding at a walk and trot, and lateral gaits. A further training point in baroque riding is the piaffe (gentle and on pliaras - slow and gentle) without rider's weight. Only then is canter trained for strengthening through shoulder leg, renvers and piaffe. This is followed by passage and pirouettes. The aim of the baroque riding school is to ride one-handed on bare canters and, depending on disposition, schools above the ground.

Just wonderful. Don't like De la Gueriniere methods, but all the movements all still taught and trained.
Thank you ^^ I don't mean to defend the methods, but I wanted to explain the historical background. I think in the end every horse prefers to graze undisturbed in a pasture instead of being ridden or doing dressage exercises. It's good to be able to perform such dressage exercises in a playful way without coercion, but unfortunately that's rather rare in competitions... However, there are many horse owners who do this very well in private without the character of an event.
De la Gueriniere was still a pivotal figure for modern dressage. His advancements still helped countless of trainers to perfect their own methods and produce the techniques of today.
