Equitation - 1966 guide to Horse Riding

"Henry Wynmalen’s *Equitation* has firmly established itself as a modern classic on the principles of good riding. *Equitation* excels for its combination of clear and concise instruction in first principles and elementary training, and its brilliant exposition of advanced and high school riding. No book in English is its equal in describing the various stages in training the perfectly schooled horse. The author's methods are based on wide study of the teachings of the great Horseman of the past and on his experience in making and schooling his own horses. The text is illustrated from photographs of his horses doing the work that is here described. There is thus a rare unity of purpose in the book as a whole as it takes the reader through successive stages in the education of Horse and Rider." - Equitation - Henry Wynmalen.
