Famed Lipizzaner Performance Of The Classical Airs!
This unusual book charts the life of an exuberant Lipizzaner foal, whose owner is an artist and student of classical riding. Patient observation developed a sharp eye for the filly's natural flair for dramatic high leaps, instinctive antecedents to familiar classical performance Airs (movements) for which her breed is famous. The Lipizzaner is the oldest cultured breed of saddle / dressage horse and is also a rare breed with ancient lineage. Learn of the origins of dressage and the haute ècole, beginning with the foal's audacious Capriole! This is one of the most specialised high leaps (ridden and in-hand from the ground) within world famous Gala Performances of classical horsemanship especially those which feature the Lipizzaner...
Years of sense impressions led to oil sketches and research having witnessed myriad ordinary and extraordinary leaps, the strength and power of which resonated ancient war horse battle training, each being freeze-frame icon in landscape. The Greek general and statesman Xenophon in the 4th century BC in his 'Art of Horsemanship' is the first to fully describe these natural and exultant Airs (sadly no pictures) and relate them to harmonious, effective and kindly training of progressive exercises as within enlightened training manèges around the the world. AIRS APPARENT is a missing manual of these fleeting natural formative movements. Lipizzan mares are kept for breeding but are no less talented, as Flora demonstrates. Just like the manege training, the EAA provides nature-inspired didactic learning through constructive and playful repetition.
