From William Cavendish 'New method and extraordinary invention to dress horses and work them according to nature." The duke was a leading commander in the English Civil War who, after the Royalist defeat, fled to the continent. During his exile Cavendish established a famous riding school in Antwerp. It was located in Rubens former home which Cavendish rented from Rubens widow.
