Guy Henry (equestrian)
Major General Guy Vernor Henry, Jr. (December 26, 1875 – November 29, 1967) was an American horse rider who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.
==Biography==
Guy V. Henry, Jr. was born into the military life. Son of Guy Vernor Henry, he went on to graduate from West Point in 1898, and distinguished his military career by earning the Silver Star in 1899 during the Spanish-American War.〔 He was also awarded two Distinguished Service Medals later in life.
Henry went on to study at the French Cavalry School in Saumur, France and used the knowledge he gained there to change the treatment and training of US Cavalry Horses. This included starting horses not by "breaking" them using the traditional western methods, but by training them on the longe, then slowly teaching them to accept the weight of a human on their back. He also brought dressage methods from both the French and German schools, with a great deal of influence from Baucher, and as senior instructor of equitation at the Mounted Service School at Ft. Riley he insisted in teaching new recruits to properly use the aids and promoted the European methods. Henry helped to institute the high level of horsemanship at Ft. Riley, helping to develop farrier and veterinary programs which were to become required courses for cavalry lieutenants. He also got rid of the harsh curb bit used by the Cavalry, known as the Shoemaker bit, and replaced it with either the snaffle bit or the double bridle.
