Field notes
The archive is organized as a sequence of dated riding notes rather than as a formal training program. Its subjects stay close to the rider’s body and the horse’s response: breathing during a session, stabilizing the elbows, freeing the pelvis, preparing corners, and finding the sensation of an extended trot. The author places this learning process near Saumur and identifies a return to riding after ten years away, with one entry involving a former racehorse.
