Dressur mit Arthur Kottas

The Spanish Riding School in Vienna enjoys the highest reputation as a stronghold of classical equestrian art. Arthur Kottas-Heldenberg, the first senior rider of the Hofreitschule for many years and an internationally sought-after judge and trainer, gives the reader a unique insight into the teaching and training methods of this Austrian institution. Next comes work on gaits and heavy class lessons such as side gaits, flying gallop changes, pirouettes, piaffes and passages. Above all is the well-being of the horse, which should feel pleasure in its work and move in harmony with its rider.
