Preserved as
classical equestrian art, these awe-inspiring movements were originally
intended to be used in warfare.
Only Stallions with the greatest strength, talent and athletic ability
were chosen for training in these ancient manuvers. You will be amazed
and delighted with the results.... The Airs Above the Ground.
 |
Levade...
The horse must maintain a haunched position at a 45-degree angle to
the ground, requiring muscle control and perfection of balance almost
beyond belief. |
|
Courbette...
The horse balances on the hind legs and then jumps, keeping the
hind legs together and the forelegs off the ground.
|
 |
 |
Capriole...
The stallion leaps into the air, drawing his forelegs under his chest
at the height of elevation, and kicks out violently with his hind
legs. |
