The H. Dv. 12 with Commentary: The Rulebook of Riding Culture - Hardcover

by Gerd Heuschmann (Commentaries by), Kurd Albrecht Von Ziegner (Commentaries by), Richard F. Williams (Translator)

The Riding Regulation, H. Dv. 12 in its last edition of 1937 is the foundation of German classical horsemanship. Authored by the German cavalry experts and issued by the German army commander-in-chief, Freiherr von Fritsch, these guidelines governed all training of remounts and recruits with the goal of creating sound, able, willing, and obedient military mounts and equally capable riders. As the original source of the renowned Training Scale, the H. Dv. 12 is the basis for today's Principles of Riding, published by the FN, it serves as the German National Equestrian Federation's official instruction manual.

Finally, we have a NEW, definitive English translation of the classic H. Dv. 12, enhanced by expert commentary.

Translated by Richard F. Williams from the German edition published by Franckh-Kosmos.
