At daybreak, with the mist still rising from the ground, each breath hanging on the air as a tiny cloud, the rider prepares his horse.
La Promenade du matin – the morning ride, that essential ritual – is a moment
of peace and quiet. The horse walks on, and for the next hour, mount and rider
take a while to welcome the growing light, and make plans for the day ahead.
Henri d’Origny’s composition presents the
essential bridlery for this morning outing: bridles, bits and curb chains
invest the space with a pattern of circles and squares.
