A Horseman’s Notes, by Erik Herbermann. 119pp. In his uniquely philosophical, poetic style, the author presents the inner workings of classical riding, based on notes he made while answering the daily, practical needs of his pupils during many years of teaching. Readers are therefore sure to find the contents of this volume to be highly relevant to their own experiences and challenges – providing solutions which are refreshingly east to read and understand, and above all genuinely helpful when applied. Not only does A Horseman’s Notes guide us towards better riding – again and again the reader’s sensibilities are directed to things of higher value, bringing a spirit of renewed reverence for the horse, and fresh life into commonplace technique – but also, the concepts go to the core of the matter, enabling us to see more clearly out interaction with the horse and a delightful catalyst, through which we are able to experience our own humanity more fully.
