School
of Horsemanship
Francois Richichon de la
Gueriniere - Translated by Tracy Boucher |
First
published in 1733 as Ecole de Cavalerie, this book must be considered as
the beginning of modern equitation, and is probably the most important
book on the subject ever written. But only now has the complete work -
including sections on general horsemanship, equitation, and veterinary
treatment - been translated into English. Although many of the remedies
offered for the equine illnesses have naturally been superseded, the
majority of Guerinieres teachings are still highly relevant today. No
horseman - from farrier to historian - should ignore this truly
illuminating and beautifully illustrated book. |
