Riding and Driving

A practical manual offers detailed instruction in riding and driving, beginning with breeding and early handling of young horses and covering purchase, care, and stable management. The riding portion explains tack, mounting, the correct seat, horsemanship aids, training methods for collection, gaits, gallop changes, suppling, jumping, backing, and use of snaffle and curb. The driving section treats the horse's natural history and economic value, feeding, shoeing, harness and first aid, and step-by-step techniques for driving single animals, pairs, fours, and tandems. Illustrations and practical tips emphasize safe, humane training and everyday management.
