"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 in the history of equestrianism, authored by Antoine de Pluvinel (1555–1620), one of the most influential riding masters of his time. Published posthumously in 1625, this treatise is not only a comprehensive guide to the art of horse riding but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and social attitudes towards horses and their training during the late Renaissance period in France.

Antoine de Pluvinel, who was the riding instructor to King Louis XIII, meticulously details the principles of training both the horse and rider, emphasizing the importance of gentle methods and the psychological connection between horse and rider. His approach marked a significant departure from the more coercive methods that were prevalent in the earlier equestrian traditions. Pluvinel's philosophy underscored the value of understanding the nature of the horse, advocating for patience, kindness, and respect in the training process.

"L'Instruction du Roy en l'exercice de monter à cheval" is structured as a dialogue between the master and the king, a literary device that makes the text both engaging and educational. The work is richly illustrated with engravings by Crispin de Passe the Elder, which are not only artistically significant but also serve as a practical guide, depicting various training exercises, riding techniques, and the ideal conformation of the horse.

This treatise is considered one of the foundational texts in the development of classical dressage and had a profound influence on subsequent generations of equestrian theorists and practitioners. It reflects the shift towards a more enlightened and humane approach to horse training, laying the groundwork for modern equestrian practices. "L'Instruction du Roy en l'exercice de monter à cheval" remains a pivotal work in equestrian literature, offering insight into the evolution of horse riding as both an art form and a science.
