1754R. Berenger tr. Bourgelat's New Syst. Horsemanship xvii. 115 The Mezair is higher than the Action of Terre-a-Terre, and lower than that of Curvets; we may therefore conclude, that the Terre-a-Terre is the Foundation of the Mezair, as well as of Curvets. 1928Daily Express 22 June 11/3 There is the ‘piaffe’ in which the horses keep time without advancing, and the ‘mezair’, that sets them mincing forward, balancing on their hind legs. 1956L. Mins tr. Seunig's Horsemanship (1958) iii. 313 The mézair is performed by having the horse fall back on its haunches after a gallopade. 1960A. Podhajsky Spanish Riding School Vienna 36 The Mézair is a series of Levades following upon each other at short intervals, after each of which the fore-legs always touch the ground for an instant, the hind-legs following in a jump and then the Levade is repeated, so that a small increase of space forward occurs. |
