Salomon de La Broue (c. 1530 – c. 1610) was a French écuyer [fr] or riding-master^[1] and Gascon gentleman.^[2]^: 353 His treatise on riding, published as the Preceptes Principaux in 1593, was the first to have been written in French.^[1]^[2]^: 353 Like Antoine de Pluvinel, he was a pupil of Gianbattista Pignatelli.^[3]^[2]^: 353 De La Broue was écuyer to Jean Louis de Nogaret de La Valette, the first Duke of Épernon, and écuyer ordinaire of the Grande Écurie du Roi [fr] in the reign of Henri IV.^[3]

De La Broue, like Pluvinel, was one of the founders of the old French haute école. His methods centred on calmness in hand, freedom and lightness in order to obtain the best results from the horse; he rejected the use of force or constraint in training.^[2]^: 58–59
