When I was tootling around YouTube trying to understand how the Cadre Noir does their thing so seamlessly, I stumbled on THIS playlist. Finally I get the origins of dressage (hint, it’s not in Europe), and the evolution from La Gueriniere to Baucher and Steinbrecht and how that impacts modern “sport” dressage. Also how Nuno Oliveira used La Guérinière as his base but added in splashes of Baucher or Steinbrecht depending upon the physical type of horse.
I recommend starting with Nuno Oliveira’s Inspiration La Gueriniere and following with Unlocking Nuno. This explains the evolution of modern dressage more effectively than anything else I have ever seen. For the very beginnings of dressage, go to The Origins of Dressage and work your way up the list. The host is easy to understand and very entertaining but really gets into the nitty gritty of the history and techniques. I learned so much and it’s so relevant to my daily training. Enjoy!
