REFLEXIONS ON FLEXIONS

A talented XXth century french equestrian instructor
Capitaine Olivier de Carné
wrote under his nom de plume
Prince Errant
a book published in 1952 titled
"Dressage Simplifié - Flexions"
It presents an interesting point of view on dressage
"Dressage becomes simple when the rider understands
the role and the importance of flexions"

POINTS OF VIEW
The natural bend - The key articulations
Straightening through flexions - The tact in contact
The shoulder in - Turns - Pirouettes
Vacillations and Oscillations
Backing - Piaffe

This important equestrian subject will be introduced here
and linked to ESOAR expanding network of Web pages
Experiments as they are conducted in the E-clinic
Animations and videos available to supporters
will be complementary to its progression

Below are pictures used in an animation of the flexion of the horse
