About This Book

This practical manual offers step-by-step instruction in training, riding, and caring for saddle-horses aimed at women. Part I gives progressive lessons in amateur horse training—bit handling, flexion and lowering of the head, bending the neck, moving the croup, gaits, turning, backing, and mounted work. Part II addresses saddle etiquette, dress, mounting, seat, road behaviour and the groom’s role. Later sections cover leaping technique and considerations for buying and fitting a saddle-horse, followed by illustrated plates and an alphabetical guide to parts, points, common defects and ailments. Emphasis is on patience, lightness of hand, safety and practical stable routine.
