[edit] Nevzorov Haute Ecole
Alexander Nevzorov’s contribution to the development of Haute Ecole is really priceless. He managed to do a seemingly impossible thing; he understood the mechanism of the natural horse’s collection. He has learnt to collect a horse without any artificial aids, without bridles and bits. Nevzorov’s horses at liberty, at lunge, in hands and while mounted always move in a perfect balanced collection without a bridle. It is necessary to point out that during the process of training Nevzorov never and in no case uses bridles, mediakanas, cavesons and halters, only cordeo – a thin strap that lies free on a horse’s neck.
