Discover the timeless cornerstone of classical dressage. In Shoulder-in: the Secret of the Art of Equitation, Commandant Salins lifts the veil on one of the most subtle yet transformative movements in the rider’s repertoire—the shoulder-in. More than a mere lateral exercise, the épaule en dedans is revealed as the key to balance, suppleness, and true harmony between horse and rider.

Drawing on centuries of the French equestrian tradition, Salins explains how the shoulder-in refines communication, develops the horse’s athleticism, and unlocks the path to the high school of riding. Through detailed principles, clear aids, and a deep understanding of equine biomechanics, he shows how this single movement embodies the essence of lightness and collection.

Whether you are an aspiring rider, a dedicated trainer, or a scholar of classical horsemanship, Shoulder-in offers a rare window into the living art of the manège. Commandant de Salins' insights will inspire you to see this “secret” not as a trick but as a philosophy of riding—one that elevates the partnership between horse and rider to its highest form.
