Abstract
Ronsard’s passion for the equestrian arts and his technical knowledge of the practice can be felt throughout his poetry. A contemporary at the royal stables of the riding master François de Carnavalet, the poet fuses his personal equestrian experiences from that time to the classical stories of horses of the past in order to praise at once the art of horsemanship and the art of poetry.
