Book Reviews of Russian Hussar - A Story of the Imperial Cavalry, 1911-1920
Book Review: A true Renaissance man
Summary: 5 Stars
Russian Hussar is a great read for any enthusiast of modern history written by a a remarkable individual who went on to a very illustrious career as an author and philosopher on the topic of English horseback riding and training, primarily hunters and jumpers. This well written, fascinating book is just one of the many points of light in Capt. Littauer's legacy.
He developed a modern system of riding that has influenced the riding and training of horses around the world, based on a philosophy stressing the importance of thorough understanding of the horse - instincts, anatomy and physiology, physical and mental development, natural abilities - in order to train and ride in a manner that develops the horse to its best athletic abilities through a well considered, orderly and compassionate series of training exercises, intending to preserve the horse's natural way of going, cooperative nature, and calm behavior.
He was well spoken, well educated and could discourse intelligently on many subjects. A rigorous taskmaster regarding proper riding and training, he was charming and kind, with a delightful sense of humor. I felt extraordinarily privileged to have spent time with him. His writing is literate, humorous, well researched, and personal.
