Скачать или смотреть Medieval advice on horse breaking: from theory into practice

Myths about medieval horsemanship and horse training methods abound. Some people think that medieval riders were cruel and abusive, and that medieval horsemanship was built on dominating the horse and submitting it to the rider's will (this view has been advocated among others by Sunny Harrison and endorsed by Camille Man Li Vo Van Qui). There is another popular opinion that medieval horsemen were superior to today's horsemen, allegedly because they spent hours with their horses.
In this paper, which was recorded in 2020, Anastasija Ropa does not endorse either of the views. Instead, I test some of the methods outlined by the twelfth-century Sicilian author Jordanus Rufus in working with a young sport horse.
This study has since been published and is available in The Liminal Horse: Equitation and Boundaries, ed. Rena Maguire and Anastasija Ropa, along with other studies on medieval horses and horsemanship, notably the study of the training and horse care sections of Rufus's treatise by Jennifer Jobst.
