Riding Through History - 16th Century Workbook

Self-led workbook for the first workshop of the Riding Through History Series - the 16th Century.

Explore the teachings of 16th Century riding masters Grisone, Fiaschi and Corte guided by this 35-page workbook. 
 
Content includes selecting historically accurate representations of equipment, arena set up, technical requirements, when and why you may need an assistant, overviews on the period, the people and culture, and the riding patterns themselves (with detailed explanations of how to ride/interpret them).
 
Immerse yourself in the experience with information on equipment, riding styles and how to set up and ride patterns set out by the masters themselves.  Explore how this approach to riding can develop and improve your horse, and foster accuracy and precision in your own riding.
 
A highlight is Fiaschi's concept of riding to music, and this is supported in the workbook by downloadable music clips in the form of QR codes.

Interaction and sharing of information and images is encouraged via the Riding Through History Workshop Series Facebook page.

This is the first workbook of the four-part series.
 
The opportunity to participate in Riding Through History workshops nation wide is also available.
