Philippe Karl on the Problems of Modern Dressage and the Essence of French Classical Riding
This is a wonderful interview of Philippe Karl and a powerful reflection on how far modern dressage has drifted from its classical roots—and what it truly means to ride
with the horse instead of
against it. His perspective mirrors much of what we teach and practice at Shakespeare Farm. Worth every minute of listening!
