Voor wie hoe je op z'n allerbest paardvriendelijk kunt trainen interessant vindt en voor wie eigen prestaties die oh's en ah's van een publiek oproepen daaraan ondergeschikt vindt:
http://www.nevzorovhauteecole.com/en/alexander_nevzorov.php"Alexander Nevzorov’s contribution to the development of Haute Ecole is really priceless. He managed to do a seemingly impossible thing; he understood the mechanism of the natural horse’s collection. He has learnt to collect a horse without any artificial aids, without bridles and bits. Nevzorov’s horses at liberty, at lunge, in hands and while mounted always move in a perfect balanced collection without a bridle. It is necessary to point out that during the process of training Nevzorov never and in no case uses bridles, mediakanas, cavesons and halters, only cordeo – a thin strap that lies free on a horse’s neck."

" … equestrian sport by nature can’t be even defined as a sport. Yes, any sport includes records and victories, but these records and victories are gained by one’s own sweet and blood, by one’s own pains and efforts. And equestrian sport (if we study the issue) represents parasitizing on physical abilities of another living being which does not want to be engaged in this sport but forced to it by pain and beating. So why the hell we call it a sport?
Among all sportsmen there are no more than two percent of real sadists, and others just do not realize what they’re doing”.
