Autor

Claude Bourgelat (1712-1779) was a French veterinary surgeon who gained prominence as the founder of veterinary schools in Lyon and Paris, thus laying the foundation for the modern veterinary profession. His passion for horse anatomy and disease prevention led him to establish standardized methods for veterinary training. Bourgelat's significant contribution to equine studies was encapsulated in his notable work, 'A New System of Horsemanship'. Published in the mid-18th century, this text reflects Bourgelat's innovative approach to equine care, emphasizing the significance of understanding horse anatomy and biomechanics for effective horsemanship. His scholarly approach went beyond mere practice, seeking to instill a scientific basis in a field that historically relied on traditional knowledge. Bourgelat's legacy is captured in his publications and the profound influence he had on shaping veterinary science. His literary style blended meticulous observation with practical instruction, harmoniously integrating scientific inquiry with the art of horsemanship. Bourgelat's contributions were crucial during a period when the interdependence between human society and equine populations was at its apex, given the pivotal role horses played in transportation, agriculture, and military endeavors of the time.
