"L'Instruction du Roy en l'exercice de monter à cheval" (The Instruction of the King in the Practice of Horse Riding) is a seminal work on horsemanship by Antoine de Pluvinel, one of the most distinguished riding masters of the 17th century. Published posthumously in 1625, this treatise is notable for its detailed exploration of classical dressage and the training of both horse and rider in the refined style of the French Renaissance court. Pluvinel, who was the riding instructor to King Louis XIII of France, dedicated the work to his royal pupil, hence the title's reference to the "Roy" or king.

The book is often recognized for its significant contribution to the development of dressage as an equestrian art form and for its influence on subsequent generations of horsemen. Pluvinel's humane approach to training, which advocated for gentle methods and an understanding of the horse's psychology, marked a departure from the more coercive techniques that were prevalent in the past. This philosophy laid the groundwork for modern dressage and is reflected in the principles of contemporary equestrian federations.

"L'Instruction du Roy" is also celebrated for its elaborate illustrations, which were created by the French artist Crispin de Passe the Younger. These engravings not only depict the various exercises and movements involved in the training but also provide a valuable visual record of the period's equestrian attire, equipment, and courtly pageantry.

The treatise consists of a dialogue between the master, Pluvinel, and the king, through which the author imparts his knowledge on the art of riding. The work covers a range of topics, from the selection and care of horses to the intricate maneuvers of haute école, the highest level of dressage. "L'Instruction du Roy" remains an important historical document and continues to be studied by equestrian enthusiasts, historians, and practitioners of classical dressage for its enduring insights into horsemanship.
