A new system of horsemanship is a treatise that outlines systematic approaches to equestrian practices, aiming to refine techniques in horse riding and training. The work highlights the balance between utility and elegance, stressing the importance of posture, handling, and the relationship between horse and rider. The text opens by introducing the basic principles of horsemanship, with a focus on the correct positioning of the rider, particularly the concept of ""the Horseman's Seat."" It contrasts various cultural riding styles and offers a unified methodology grounded in effective principles. Bourgelat emphasizes maintaining a natural and relaxed posture to achieve both control and grace. Early chapters also discuss the significance of understanding the horse's anatomy and behavior, laying the foundation for more in-depth guidance on horse training and management. Throughout, the treatise aims to provide both theoretical and practical advice, making it a comprehensive work for those seeking a deeper understanding of the art of horsemanship.

Claude Bourgelat was a French veterinary surgeon, born on March 27, 1712, in Lyon, France. He is best known for founding the world's first two veterinary schools, which laid the foundation for professional veterinary education. Bourgelat's contributions to veterinary medicine were transformative, as he introduced a scientific approach to the field, replacing the traditional, unorganized practices that had previously prevailed. Educated at the cole nationale v t rinaire de Lyon, Bourgelat focused on animal diseases and effective treatments, marking a shift toward a more systematic and scientific understanding of veterinary care. His work extended beyond veterinary medicine, as he was also interested in equestrian techniques, authoring A New System of Horsemanship. His achievements earned him recognition from the French Academy of Sciences and the Prussian Academy of Sciences. Bourgelat's legacy in veterinary education and scientific practice has had a lasting impact, and he passed away on January 3, 1779, in Paris, leaving a profound influence on the future of veterinary science.
