This great book is the next in Xenophon Press’ series by the students of Master Nuno Oliveira. Eleanor Russell studied with Oliveira for over ten years. For an entire year, she studied horsemanship with her stallion, Victorieux in Avessada, Portugal. During this time, she took dutiful notes of her master’s teachings and faithfully recorded quotations of his lessons and discussions. Ms. Russell was permitted to photograph him in his daily work on average horses. This book is filled with candid, un-posed photographs seldom before seen.  The lessons are practical and concrete. This volume illustrates daily life at the stables and reveals many secrets to understanding many classical dressage movements.This great book is the next in Xenophon Press’ series by the students of Master Nuno Oliveira.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"In truth, Nuno Oliveira returns in this beautiful book and his words echo off the pages. This is the great Nuno Oliveira, there is no interpretation or distortion of the words; it is truly an accurate account of his teachings, the memories came flooding back as I looked at it. The book is a must for everyone who has ever loved the horse and Equestrian Art. The world acclaimed lightness of Oliveira and his real love for the horse is captured in the photos and the teachings of the greatest artist and trainer of the horse world " - From a review by long time student, Jayne Howley "Over 90 pages of never before published colour photos and training principles in the words of Nuno Oliveira. The text is transcribed from Eleanor Russell's notes and faithfully recorded quotes from Nuno Oliveira taken over the 10 years Ms. Russell was his student." - Sylvia Loch

Good breakdown of why and how of movements. What order to train, why and what to work towards accomplishing. Everything described with the horse's welfare at the forefront. Differentiates truly classical from perceived classical work.
