RACINET EXPLAINS BAUCHER
Highlighted Features
Excellent introduction to the philosophy, method, and procedures of Francois Baucher, or the French tradition of "riding in lightness" that Baucher developed in the 19th century. Includes a translation of Baucher's "second manner."Jean-Claude Racinet wrote a few articles in the magazine Dressage and CT in 1992-3 on Baucher and his equitation. This series, with some necessary editing for cohesion, has been brought together to create this book. Two appendices were added; the first one deals with the validity of Baucherism, in light of the last discoveries of "equine osteopathy," as exposed by Dr. Dominique Giniaux of France; the second is a translation of the very last part of the 12th edition of Baucher's Methode d'Equitation, dealing with his second "manner." This text has probably never been translated into English, and is of utmost importance. The riders who will endeavor to apply by the letter the progression described by Baucher in this text will, to their surprise, probably accede to a new and higher level of equestrian knowledge.Born in Paris in 1929, Jean-Claude Racinet is a graduate of St. Cyr, the French West Point, Class of 1950. He was a member of the French contingent in Korea (1950-53), where he was wounded twice. As an officer of the French army, he spent seven years in Tunisia and Algeria (1954-61) and four more years in Europe. While he spent most of his army career during the time when the military was getting rid of their horses, he managed, between and during his sojourns overseas, to successfully attend the Superior Equitation Course in the Cavalry School of Saumur (1953-54), winning the title of Champion of Tunisia in open jumping (1956), and to become a member of the Jumping Team of the Military School in Paris (1953).Riding teacher and trainer as a civilian after 1965, he was more particularly known by his retraining of difficult horses and later as an equestrian journalist by his always ...

"Le premier tailleur d'habits ne saurait être plus illustre que celui désigné par la Genèse, montrant le terrible Jéhovah chassant l'homme du paradis, et le jetant sur une terre « qui lui produira des épines et des ronces » sans toutefois l'y abandonner entièrement, c'est-à-dire avec un courroux fléchissant, ainsi que l'indique ce passage du récit mosaïque : « Le Seigneur Dieu fit aussi à Adam et à sa femme des habits de peaux dont il les revêtit ».""Dans la rapidité des grandes étapes de la Genèse, on ne trouve rien touchant les évolutions de l'industrie après le premier pas fait par elle... Des bégaiements de ces industries, de l'ingéniosité des travaux auxquels l'homme dut se livrer, de l'expérience qu'il lui fallut acquérir pour se procurer les tissus et les feutrages propres à remplacer les vêtements de peaux dont il lui avait fallu d'abord user, de ces efforts collectifs, rien ne parle en ces livres-là.""Aujourd'hui, qu'il ne saurait plus être question d'opposer les unes aux autres des traditions différentes, mais de rechercher, au contraire, ce qui est de nature à concilier les diverses traditions, en les faisant concourir, autant que possible, à former une espèce d'histoire de la marche de l'humanité, à travers les phases par lesquelles l'homme a nécessairement passé pour arriver aux civilisations ; aujourd'hui, que les chiffres donnés par la géologie d'une part, et les travaux des anthropologues d'autre part, s'imposent à l'esprit en faisant reculer fortement les limites du passé classique, y compris celles mêmes des temps sûrement historiques, il devient d'un réel intérêt de signaler ce qui nous est révélé sur les époques intermédiaires dont ne parlent ni les Moïse, ni les Homère, mais que l'on trouve échelonnées dans la tradition de la haute archéologie des lettrés chinois. La succession des faits s'y présente avec une pertinence, que l'on peut f... [Read More]
