The Hungaro-Austrian riding style is definitely different, traditionally separate from Baucherism and rejects it.
Letter from the Mauritius Herold to Sigesmund Josipovich
(Published by Josipovich, summarised translation)
We all read with interest Colonel Heydebreck's article about the competition held in Berlin on February 28. I will be brave and want to comment on this and share them publicly. I would like to achieve that the decisions made at the Paris Olympics is not to affect the requirements of the Amsterdam Olympics. I don't want to involve political issues, but the committee that determined the requirements of the Paris Olympics was set up unilaterally and this strongly influenced the decisions.
I therefore suppose that serious-minded riders will agree with my wish that the decisions in Paris should be reviewed. Representatives of the countries that were excluded at the time must also be included in the review. (Representatives of the states that lost the war were not invited either to the preparation of the competition or to the competition. G. I.)
I think that all trained riders share my view: the trot is the most difficult gait to ride and I don't understand why it was given limited appreciation in Paris. It is a mystery to me why the program has to be limited over time, since this causes the riders to ride at a faster pace than necessary and cut the corners. The number of points awarded for the canter cannot be accepted sanely.
Furthermore I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that flying changes of leg every stride is a requirement for such a serious training test. This is a circus exercise and not for serious competition. It is useless even if Baucher presented it as a kind of stunt in Samur. Such uselessness cannot be surrounded by the greatest artistic halo, it is useless and cannot be part of serious equestrian competitions. If I wouldn't right, then master Fillis' gallop presented on three legs or backward should also have included in the competitions. No serious horseman can claim that the practice of flying changes of leg every stride has improved his horse's mouth, or his horse has been better on the bit as a result of the exercise. I really appreciated the fact that Prince Sigismund of Prussia gave up on promoting this circus school rather than messing up his horse's training.
Allow me to ask two modest questions. Is the Paris decision unchangeable gospel or not? Should only the interests of certain countries be taken into account, or the interests of the riders of the whole world? Emmendingen, 1926.
