About This Item
London: J. A. Allen & Co. , Ltd.. New in New dust jacket. 2007. Reprint; Hardcover. 0851314619 . SIGNED ON WHITE END PAPER BY BETTINA DRUMMOND, a student of the Master's, who was trained, from childhood, in his methods, at his home in Portugal. Signed: BETTINA DRUMMOND, SEPT 07, 07. Cover is brick red with gold lettering on spine. Red endpapers. Pages are clean and tight. This is a NEW book. Illustrated with 16 b/w plates. Translated by Phyllis Field. Originally published in 1976; this is 2004 reprint. "Oliveira has been described as one of the last of the great international riding masters and this important book affords an opportunity to study with a master at work. The Author, who reveals much of his own personality and philosophy in his writing, examines and explains classical techniques with clarity and brilliance. Throughout the book the emphasis is on lightness and harmony, the whole reflecting a deep love and respect for the horse". Oliveira was known as the Portugese master, training and riding Andalusian and Lusitano horses. Top riders from all over the world made the pilgrimage to his riding school to learn from the Master. An absolutely delightful book, I love reading it, and will reread sections quite often, and a must have for any dressage library. This is a trainer and rider who truly danced with his horses, creating magnificent, kinetic art out of living flesh. ; B&W Photographs; 6 1/4 x 9 1/2; 118 pages; Light rubbing at bottom of spine. Slight edge wear on DJ; in a mylar cover. ; Signed by Associated .
