For the best part of 400 years, four illustrious riding schools have striven for perfection in the equestrian art, including the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, the Cadre Noir in Saumur, the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez, and the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art in Lisbon.

All four are the guardians of the traditions which they have preserved and enriched.

With breathtaking photography and meticulously researched text, the book reveals the schools' traditions, their functioning, the recruitment and training of riders, their horses and what the future holds for these establishments.
