General Decarpentry (1878-1956) was born to a family of horsemen, with his father and grandfather having been students of Baucher and his great uncle the Tsar's chief riding master. Decarpentry is perhaps the best known of France's classical horseman of modern times and wrote 'Piaffe and Passage' in 1931 while at Saumur. It was first translated in English in 1964, but has been out of print for many years.
