Static Horsemanship
L’Écuyer Français qui Enseigne à Monter à Cheval et à Voltiger
by L. Imbotti de Beaumont in 1679 [again, at the Danish Veterinary and Agricultural Library] is apparently one of the first texts to outline the methods of trick riding
. Imbotti drew his inspiration from
William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle
.
{Perhaps they were practising for a
race
?}
[Reminiscent of
de Moulin
]
