Eighteenth Century Equitation presents two classic English works on the training of military riders and horses at the start of the Napoleonic era, when “the cavalry arm,” as Louis A. DiMarco has observed, “reached the highest point of its popular and professional acclaim”— A Method of Breaking Horses, and Teaching Soldiers to Ride, by Henry Herbert, 10th Earl of Pembroke, and A Treatise on Military Equitation, by William Tyndale.
Written for riding masters and officers in British service, these clear and concise manuals will provide contemporary equestrian readers with historical knowledge of military theory as practiced by the light cavalry, historical insight on a moment in the evolution of horsemanship as influenced by mounted warfare, and sound principles and lessons still valuable for the improvement of horsemanship and equitation—professional or amateur, military or civilian.
Xenophon Press is pleased to present these important works by the Earl of Pembroke and William Tyndale in facsimile, reproducing the fourth and final edition of Pembroke’s work and the only edition of Tyndale’s. The texts are complete with their original 22 plates, and are accompanied with an introduction and explanatory notes by Dr. Charles Caramello, John H. Daniels Fellow at the National Sporting Library and Museum in Middleburg, Virginia.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author
"William Tyndale (?-1830), a more elusive biographical subject than Pembroke, was a landowner who inherited an estate at North Cerney upon the death of his father in 1783, and who became Sheriff of Gloucestershire in 1797. As a soldier, Tyndale performed regimental service with appointments as major in the 1st Life Guards in 1794 (exchanged from the 87th Foot), and as brevet lieutenant colonel in 1796. He exchanged to lieutenant-colonel in the 13th Foot in February 1803, and retired from service in August 1803. (His son, Charles William Tyndale, served with notable distinction in the Peninsular War.) Tyndale held an annual pension of 200 pounds as of June 1, 1830, and he died on August 27, 1830." by Charles Caramello
Dr. Charles Caramello completed this editorial work during a John H. Daniels Fellowship at the National Sporting Library In Middleburg, Virginia.
