Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere (1688-1751)



"A firm hand is one which holds the horse in full contact."

"Above all, a horse should never be chastised out of foul mood or anger, but always with complete dispassion."

Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere (1688-1751)



"Neither should, for the same reason, the lessons be for too long a period; they fatigue and bore a horse, and it should be returned to the stable with the same good spirits it had upon leaving it."

Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere (1688-1751)



"Others make a point of trying to attain the precision and poise they see in those who have the ability to choose from a great number of horses those with [...] qualities found in only a very small number of horses. This leads to a circumstance in which these imitators of such studied poise mortify the spirit of a noble horse, and remove from it all of the goodness of temperament Nature has given it."

Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere (1688-1751)
