Man op een paard before 1889

"Man op een paard" is an anonymous photograph depicting a man riding a horse in a fenced arena. It comes from the Rijksmuseum, a collection of Dutch art and history, and dates from before 1889. The image captures the horse's rear end and the rider's back, giving a glimpse into the "rolling up" method of controlling the horse. This technique, as described in the book this image originates from, aims to confuse the horse and give the rider control. The photograph serves as a visual aid for understanding equestrian techniques, showcasing the dynamic interplay between human and animal.
