The return of a classic! This landmark work, first published in 1902, is finally back in print.

Author Notes: James Fillis was ecuyer en chef of the St Petersburg Cavalry Riding School, and at the turn of the century was renowned as the greatest high school rider of all time. He was a groundbreaker in the field of classical dressage, having developed innovations ranging from the spectacular reverse canter on three legs to the eminently useful fillis style stirrup irons, still used by nearly all dressage riders to this day. His motto – “en avante†(forward) – represents the basic principle on which all modern training is founded.
