To the Members of the Knighthood riding is an art. The art of living - giving quality in life to both man and horse. We want to reach the highest possible level, without neglecting the rules of nature.- Using gymnastic exercises to promote the horse’s physical and mental well being.
- Using dressage for the horse, not the horse for dressage.
- This art offers horse/man a task that can be performed with dignity until a great age.
- Honouring the art of riding in a celebrating manner.
- Enlarging the circle of those who are dedicated to this art.
