This volume covers a wide range of topics including basic training of the horse, care of its equipment, managing a stable, and riding methods. Additionally, "Horses, Saddles and Bridles" provides a fascinating look back into equestrian travel history. Carter provides case studies of various cavalry campaigns, detailing for example how Napoleon lost more than 186,000 horses in his ill-fated Russian campaign! Amply illustrated, this rediscovered classic remains fascinating reading for students of the horse or history.
