520 _a"A New System of Horsemanship" by Claude Bourgelat is a treatise on equestrian techniques written in the mid-18th century. This work seeks to refine the practice of horsemanship by establishing a systematic approach to riding, guiding, and training horses, drawing from the author's insights as well as historical practices. The focus is on achieving a balance between utility and elegance in riding, emphasizing the importance of posture, handling techniques, and the relationship between horse and rider. The beginning of the work introduces the reader to the fundamentals of horsemanship, particularly the correct positioning of the horseman in the saddle, referred to as "the Horseman's Seat." The text notes the contrasting styles adopted by different cultures and aims to provide a cohesive methodology based on sound principles. Bourgelat emphasizes the significance of maintaining a natural posture to achieve grace and control while riding. The opening chapters also touch upon the importance of understanding the horse's anatomy and behavior, setting the stage for more detailed instructions on training and managing horses effectively.
