Classical Dressage Training in Practice according to the H.Dv.12
This book is my husband's life's work, which is dedicated to the well-being of horses, something I have always supported. We founded the "Friends Association for Classical Dressage Training" in 1977, so that classical equitation the way it was taught at the world-famous Cavalry School of Hannover didn't disappear. In particular, I would like to emphasize his work with poorly trained horses. Thanks to his comprehensive expertise and riding ability, he was always able to correct them and make them into rideable mounts. My husband's tireless energy in the training of horse and rider, as well as his sense of duty to "the cause" he had chosen to serve, were the main contributing factors to the writing of this book, especially after his expert articles "Classical Dressage Training in Practice" had gained nation-wide attention in Germany.
Xenophon’s ›Anabasis‹ and its Reception
This volume constitutes the first large-scale collaborative reflection on Xenophon’s Anabasis, gathering experts on Greek historiography and Xenophon. It is structured in three sections: the first section provides a linear reading of the Anabasis through chapters on select episodes (from Book 1 through Book 7), including the opening, Cyrus’ characterisation, the meeting of Socrates and Xenophon, Xenophon’s leadership, the marches through Armenia and along the Black Sea coast and the service under Seuthes in Thrace. The second section offers an in-depth exploration of hitherto overlooked recurrent themes. Based on new approaches and scholarly trends, it focuses on topics such as the con...
Xenophon And The History Of His Times
Xenophon and the History of his Times examines Xenophon's longer historical works, the Hellenica and the Anabasis. Dillery considers how far these texts reflect the Greek intellectual world of the fourth and fifth centuries B.C., rather than focusing on the traditional question of how accurate they are as histories. Through analysis of the complete corpus of Xenophon's work, and the writings of his contemporaries, Xenophon is shown to be very much a man of his times, concerned with topical issues ranging from panhellenism and utopia to how far the gods controlled human history. This book will be valuable reading for students on ancient history courses and for all those interested in Greek political and philosophical thought.
Xenophon’s Ephesiaca
After many decades of neglect, the last forty years have seen a renewed scholarly appreciation of the literary value of the Greek novel. Within this renaissance of interest, four monographs have been published to date which focus on individual novels; I refer to the specialist studies of Achilles Tatius by Morales and Laplace and those of Chariton of Aphrodisias by Smith and Tilg. This book adds to this short list and takes as its singular focus Xenophon's Ephesiaca. Among the five fully extant Greek novels, the Ephesiaca occupies the position of being an anomaly, since scholars have conventionally considered it to be either a poorly written text or an epitome of a more sophisticated lost or...
Xenophon's Memorabilia of Socrates
Reprint of the original, first published in 1864. With notes and an introduction.
Xenophon and His World
These twenty-four papers originated at a conference held in 1999 which was dedicated to Xenophon's writings and to the many areas of Greek life for which he is a major source. The contributions, which also reflect the problems of recreating a life that we have so few facts for, are divided into seven sections which discuss: Xenophon's life; Xenophon and Socrates; Xenophon and the barbarian world; Sparta; religion and politics; Anabasis ; Hellenica . These wide-ranging papers are specialised, often based on a close reading on Xenophon's texts, and not all of the Greek is translated. Eighteen papers, plus the introduction, are in English; the remaining papers are in Italian or German.
Die deutsche Dressurprüfung
In dem Buch von Oberst von Heyderbreck finden sich die wichtigsten Erklärungen, wie eine Dressuraufgabe zu reiten und zu richten ist. Die lange Tradition der Ausbildung nach der H.D.V 12 erkennt man ebenso, wie die Forderung, dass der sportlichen Erfolg unbedingt nach dem Wohlergehen der Pferde einzuordnen ist. Die gute Hilfengebung hat v. Heydebreck als unsichtbar beschrieben. In diese Kontext sind damit auch alle dort erklärten Hilfen zu sehen. Es wird auf die zu zeigenden Gänge und Beurteilung eingegangen. Hier werden also genau die Maßstäbe der Beurteilung von Dressurpferden beschrieben, die nötig sind die Eleganz der Pferde wider zu erreichen. Der Laie kann wieder mit Freude Dressurprüfungen zusehen. Eine gute Gymnastizierung und die psychische Ausgeglichenheit der Pferde ist damit auch zu erreichen. Die Betonung von ethischen Praktiken und der Förderung des Wohlbefindens der Pferde, welche zentrale Werte in der deutschen Reitausbildung darstellen findet man implizit in diesem Buch. Es ist also fast einhundert Jahre nach seinem Erscheinen immer noch sehr aktuell und solle deshalb in jedem Bücherregal von Reitern zu finden sein.
Xenophon's Memorabilia of Socrates
Reprint of the original, first published in 1874.
Plato and Xenophon
Plato and Xenophon are the two students of Socrates whose works have come down to us in their entirety. Their works have been studied by countless scholars over the generations; but rarely have they been brought into direct contact, outside of their use in relation to the Socratic problem. This volume changes that, by offering a collection of articles containing comparative analyses of almost the entire range of Plato's and Xenophon's writings, approaching them from literary, philosophical and historical perspectives.
The Science of Dressage Training
Dressage training: Background and Tips All riders, whether competing or riding for pleasure, want to have a tractable, relaxed and motivated horse when they are ready to get into the saddle. This depends primarily on the riders' understanding of training and training methods. The more riders know about their horse's physiology and psyche, the better their understanding of these training methods. By following the practical advice in this book, riders will be able to achieve their desired training goals most efficiently, while at the same time handling their horses gently and keeping them physically and mentally sound.
