Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a witty and insightful look at the art of horsemanship, written in a style that is both humorous and informative. It is a rare find, published in 1787, offering a unique perspective on a subject that has fascinated people for centuries. The author, a keen horseman himself, tackles all aspects of riding, from choosing the right horse to mastering the art of mounting and managing the beast. He challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that established equestrian authorities, such as Newcastle, La Foffe, and Berenger, have been promoting erroneous methods that put riders at risk. The book is notable for its satirical approach, poking fun at the prevailing trends in horsemanship, particularly those that prioritize style over substance. The author champions the practical over the fashionable, advocating for a more common-sense approach to riding that emphasizes the rider's safety and the horse's well-being. He critiques the obsession with "bred" horses, urging readers to consider the often-overlooked virtues of the "dray-horse." The author also delves into the importance of the rider's attire, arguing that a proper outfit, with its practicality and visual impact, can be a powerful tool for the rider's safety and self-assurance. His detailed instructions on the proper way to mount and ride, including his unorthodox approach to spurring and navigating tricky situations, reveal a keen understanding of the horse's nature and the rider's vulnerabilities. Throughout the book, the author employs a playful, often irreverent tone, interweaving his instructions with anecdotes and witty observations. This book is a delightful and thought-provoking exploration of horsemanship that offers a fresh perspective on a timeless art form.
