Description
Riding with Oliveira-Barbier
Over several years Dominique Barbier had the unique opportunity to form an intimate relationship with Mestre Oliveira, and in this deeply personal book he chronicles their time together. Beginning in a tiny, dimly lit riding hall in Póvoa de Santa Iria e Forte da Casa, Portugal, where seminal moments of Barbier’s riding education dawned under the watchful eyes of many luminaries of the European riding elite, it then explores what came later when Barbier studied with the Mestre in Avessada and travelled with him to Belgium, France, and Spain.
Barbier’s recollections are complemented by those of three other equestrians who studied with the Mestre: Dany LaHaye, Bettina Drummond, and Luis Valença. The result is a remarkable and insightful retrospective of one of the most extraordinary horsemen of all time.

Claire Lilley explains how these pole exercises can help you to ride with precision and improve your horse’s way of going, adhering to the scales of training. You can also use the different layouts to check whether you are sitting straight, turning correctly, and riding transition and lateral movements properly. She lists common rider faults for each exercise to help riders self-correct if schooling alone.
As an experienced trainer herself, Claire knows that this book will provide an invaluable resource for riding instructors, providing a veritable cookbook of ideas for lesson plans. Poles are a great teaching tool, adding variety to every lesson and helping the teacher to explain lessons to the pupil. Teacher’s tips are given for each exercise.
Claire says: “Try the exercises for yourself and I’m sure you will be amazed at the improvements that can be made both in your riding technique and in your horse’s way of going. You will never be bored with schooling again!”
A book full of schooling ideas using just a few ground poles. Suitable for all disciplines and for horses and ponies.
