Louis Seeger

Louis Seeger (1798–1865) was a German equestrian who published several books and was influential in the development of dressage. Trained under Maximilian Weyrother, his methods were highly influenced by the great François Robichon de la Guérinière. Seeger passed on this knowledge through his riding school in Berlin, the first private school in Germany, where his students included Gustav Steinbrecht.

His book System der Reitkunst ("System of Horsemanship"), published in 1844, received the gold medal. In 1852 he published Herr Baucher und seine Künste - Ein ernstes Wort an Deutschlands Reiter ("Mr. Baucher and His Methods: An Earnest Word to Germany's Rider"), in which he criticized the training techniques of Francois Baucher, after he had watched the French rider and had been given the chance to ride several horses trained by the man.[1]

gollark: You *can* do things, but that DOES NOT IMPLY YOU SHOULD.
gollark: Fascinating. I'm not saying you're wrong in this specific case, merely that this is increasingly ominous.
gollark: > I don't really like the term of "respect", because people use it to mean so many different often mutually exclusive things based on convenience then equivocate them in weird ways; in my experience it's mostly authority figures demanding that I "respect" them, and they generally mean that I should be subservient to them in some way.
