THIS IS A SPECIAL, LIMITED, NUMBERED [1030 COPIES], SIGNED EDITION. SIGNED AND NUMBERED ON THE FRONT END PAPER. Cover is green with gold lettering on spine. DJ is in a mylar cover. Edited by Martin Diggle. Green end papers. Stitched binding. Pages are clean and tight. Lavishly illustrated with dozens of color photos and b/w drawings. Paul is an exceptional writer, trainer and rider. The cover shows him doing the levade--had the opportunity to see him do it in person, about 10' away from me--the thrill was indescribable. The horse pictured on the cover, St. Graal [Eli] was the horse I saw him share his absolute mastery and joy of riding with [alas, Eli died a few months later]. Belasik is considered one of the modern masters of dressage, included in Martin Diggle's series 'Masters of Dressage....' Sections are: Longeing and In-hand Work; Rider's Seat and Position--a Pure Form [his riding technique and form are pure and magnificent]; Straight, Forward Riding; Campaign School--Exercises of the Walk; Campaign School--Exercises of the Trot and Rein-back; Exercises of the Canter--the Modern Masterpiece; Haute Ecole; Airs Above the Ground. A must have for any serious student of dressage, modern and historic, classical in every respect. Oversized.
