Classical Versus Classiquewith Philippe Karl and Christoph Hess "Riding instructions or légèreté - sport or art?" When Philippe Karl's book, "Twisted Truths of Modern Dressage” was published, feelings began to run very high. French instructor Philippe Karl (School of Légèreté) and Christoph Hess (head of the training department of the German National Equestrian Federation e.V.) have now met openly and without mincing words to discuss their individual points of view - a somewhat heated debate using actual practical examples of different riders and horses in the riding arena. The 135 minute DVD records the meeting, organized by Claudia Sanders, with the aim of not only documenting it but also of presenting it in a completely objective manner. Everybody can and should form their own opinion as to what "classic" riding really is.
