"In truth, Nuno Oliveira returns in this beautiful book and his words echo off the pages. This is the great Nuno Oliveira, there is no interpretation or distortion of the words; it is truly an accurate account of his teachings, the memories came flooding back as I looked at it. The book is a must for everyone who has ever loved the horse and Equestrian Art. The world acclaimed lightness of Oliveira and his real love for the horse is captured in the photos and the teachings of the greatest artist and trainer of the horse world " - From a review by long time student, Jayne Howley "Over 90 pages of never before published colour photos and training principles in the words of Nuno Oliveira. The text is transcribed from Eleanor Russell's notes and faithfully recorded quotes from Nuno Oliveira taken over the 10 years Ms. Russell was his student." - Sylvia Loch
