For my Classical Horsemanship friends who struggle with the different schools of thought, i.e. French, German, Spanish, etc. and how they developed, here we have a very nice posting form a Classical Dressage FB group I am part of.: The German style was derived from a schism of the French method mid 19C purported by DAure (leg to hand when in Napoleonic times large numbers of inexperienced men needed to be trained quickly to control their horses in battle - and cross country - such men also not so intellectually or physically accomplished). The French schism (post Italianate influence) was largely based on class (Bauchers new movements and lighter riding style of hand / leg separation & adopted by educated french military elite who had the luxury of time to train). Later in the 19C Gen de lH studied both training methods and Bauchers method crept back into main stream - The US cavalry at turn of 20C tried all European methods and adopted this French method of that time as their own (U.S. NH came out of of this learning). Interestingly, the FEI when it came into being (around the time of rising German Nationalism) was largely made up of German trainers and so the heavier (Northern European) method of schooling became the basis for competition rules - competition horses are bred with a temperament to withstand this more controlled, physical German style - you couldnt apply these oppositional methods to the hot bloods they would not respond to it (favorably). The Iberian horses have continued to be worked in the courtly classical style because the Spanish and more particularly the Portuguese royalty and court life continued due to the culture of their country which didnt develop / homogenize at the same rate of most of Northern Europe. So I guess modern dressage competition (and all the financial benefits to some this brings) can be likened to the old work a day cavalry need to turn things around quickly...meanwhile those who truly enjoy horses for what they are as fellow creatures naturally lean towards classical (as we understand it today).
