Antoine Cartier d'Aure

Viscount Antoine Henri Philippe Léon Cartier d'Aure (1799–1863) was a riding master in France.

Cartier d'Aure was born in Toulouse, southwest France. He graduated from the Military Academy, St Cyr. In 1817, he joined the "Grand Stable" of the Palace of Versailles, which was under the direction of Pierre-Marie d'Abzac, as an assistant instructor. He entered the Riding School of Versailles as an instructor. He was the Master of the Grand Stable for Louis XVIII and Charles X.

Cartier d'Aure was the chief trainer of the Riding School in Saumur (1847–1854), accepted over the other well-known master of the time, François Baucher. While there, he promoted jumping and the use of the medium and extended trot to help with the training of the horses. Cartier d'Aure was a strong opponent of the methods of Baucher, believing his training to be forceful and unsympathetic.

In 1849, Cartier d'Aure was made a member of the French Legion of Honor.[1]

Cartier d'Aure was appointed the Director of the stables of Napoléon III and then installed as General Inspector of the stud farms in 1861.
