Includes 1930 publisher's bookmark laid in. 'To learn the language of understanding between the man and his mount is to enter and to enjoy what Col. Goldschmidt so aptly calls "the Fellowship." As an enthusiastic exponent of this intimate control by man, woman or child, the author has been able to analyse the fundamental factors making for fellowship - the attitude of mind, the call for patience, the need and manner of conducting schooling, the rightful use of the aids - in fact, the whole gamut of psychological and practical means for obtaining sympathetic mastery of a horse. Col. Goldschmidt has the knack of hitting on just those puzzles which some beginners are "too proud to ask about," and just those fallacies and misconceptions which are common in man's dealings with the horse, both in the stable and out, as well as in literature.
