Francois Baucher (1796-1863) was the centre of one of the most famous controversies in the development of modern equitation. Baucher introduced the one-tempo flying change at the canter, but in nineteenth-century France his Circus performances and methods of haute-ecole training were attacked. Attempts to introduce his theories to the French cavalry were blocked, although he is now recognized as an outstanding horseman and exponent of Classical dressage. This important work combines a translation of two of Baucher's publications, "New Method of Horsemanship" and "Dialogues on Equitation", with a scholarly study of the arguments which surrounded them. Professor Nelson produces a fascinating insight into an important theory of horsemanship.
Hilda Nelson is the Emeritus Professor of French Civilization and Literature at San Diego State University in Southern California. She is the author of several books and articles on the subject, and translated Antoine de Pluvinel's classic of horsemanship Le Maneige Royal for J.A. Allen. In 1983-4 she spent part of a sabbatical at St Antony's College, Oxford, and still visits England and France once or twice a year to pursue her investigations into the relationship between Classical horsemanship and Humanism, both through written works and through observation at the Ecole Nationale at Saumur. She also takes dressage lessons both in England and the United States. She lives with her husband, horses and dogs at Mount Laguna, California, in the midst of the Cleveland National Forest.
