Item description from seller

First Edition USA [1991], so stated. Near Fine in Very Good DJ: The Book shows very light wear to the extremities; the binding remains square and secure; the text is clean.Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. No longer quite "fresh", but remains in excellent condition. The DJ shows just a hint wear to extremities and a half-inch closed tear at the top of the front hinge and some creasing around it; else only mild rubbing; unclipped. Not without flaw, but remains a handsome copy: clean, sturdy, and quite presentable. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Royal 8vo. (9.75 x 7.7 x 1 inches). 272 pages. Illustrated with superb action photographs in color and black & white throughout. Weight: 1 pound, 15.2 ounces. Hardback with DJ. Anyone involved with the horse in sport, whether spectator, participant, or admirer, will enjoy Wathen's well-conceived and equally executed work. His choice of interviewees from racing, dressage, show jumping, and three-day eventing cover "big names" such as Willie Shoemaker and Virginia Leng. Anecdote-filled accounts by each person of their rise to fame, tales of their favorite mounts, and words of wisdom to aspiring, serious riders are enhanced with photographs. Overall, this is an excellent work for newcomers to the sport seeking a quick introduction to these four areas of the horse world, and its past and present shining stars. For the more informed, it is entertaining and frequently revealing reading regarding individual opinions on training, showing, and conditioning. A book to inspire all who enjoy watching the great horsemen and women in action.…
