Spanish Horse and The Horse of Spain. Andalusian and Lusitano lovers delight. This book from J Allen publishers from author Peter Maddision-Greenwell and Baroque Horse Training

Jane Lake brings the reader to the Baroque Horse and the beauty of Spain and the heritage of the Spanish breeds. A very high production book with first class photography and accurate information. The classical art of dressage and horsemanship from before Medieval times has been part of the Iberian culture. The essence of the Andalusian and Lusitano horses is thoroughly covered here in all it's marvels.

As a breeder and trainer and repeat visitor to the region with fortunate family ties in the region, I have enjoyed many impromptu exhibitions of these horses from the very proud owners. From farmyard to fairs, from bull fighting yards to Country, there is such a diversity within both the breeding and the disciplines. All with an underlying love and passion for the horse. Here, author Peter, founder in Britain of the Equestrian theater bringing the Spanish horse to exhibitions, and known for his long term involvement in the Purebred Spanish Horse Assoc, shares his knowledge in all aspects of the breeds. His partnership with Jane Lake, who has lived and worked with the Andalusian breed in Spain is a good balance of information for both the country and western, shepherding and bullfighting to the dressage ring.

Costume for competition, including the spurs, saddle and ecoutrements, as well as for clothing for Campo is covered. The legend of Spain and the Art of The Stockman, begin the book. The horse's leaps on hind legs and movements described. The Spanish Tack and Costume and how to present the horse. The pride of Portugal and the grading of the Lusitanos together with the Portuguese system and equitation. How to manage the Spanish horse. His characteristics, manners and training methods are covered. How to harmonize your leg and hand. How to find the right teacher. A great book on the Baroque of Spain and Portugal.

Makes a great gift for yourself or a friend with the passion for these breeds.
