Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the art and science of horsemanship, focusing specifically on the selection, training, and riding of horses used for everyday riding, known as "hacks." The author, writing in a time when horse-drawn transportation was still prevalent, provides a comprehensive guide for aspiring equestrians, blending practical advice with insightful observations on the nature of the horse. The book explores the different types of hacks, emphasizing the distinction between those suitable for leisurely park rides and those capable of enduring long journeys on the road. The author challenges the prevailing notion that a horse's suitability can be determined solely by its appearance, advocating for rigorous testing and careful observation of a horse's movement and temperament. He also discusses the importance of sound feet and a horse's ability to walk, trot, and gallop smoothly and safely, underscoring the need for a secure and comfortable seat. The author delves into the various vices that horses may exhibit, such as stumbling, rearing, and shying, offering practical advice on how to manage and potentially correct these behaviors. He also explores the intricacies of riding techniques, from mounting and dismounting to the proper management of reins and the different types of paces. The book's rich detail and thoughtful analysis provide a unique window into the world of horsemanship and its enduring significance in a bygone era.
