François Robichon de La Guérinière (1688-1751) is often considered the greatest French horseman of all time and the founder of modern horsemanship in France. He simplified the means of training horses and made modifications to their harnessing. His École de cavalerie published in 1731 is illustrated by Charles Parrocel.
