A propos de cet article

Limited, numbered Derrydale edition of 1250, of which this is copy number: 338. One former owner name/addy on fep, no other writing. Bright gilt hunter and titles on green cloth frt board with black composition spine covering that is infamous for chipping along gutters and becoming dull or cloudy has done just that. Spine title barely visible there, however, the inner hinges and the 329pp text block on this volume are tight and going nowhere, board tips are all sharp showing color loss, spine ends are bumped, frt hinge paper starting, rear hinge cracked and repaired. Professionally reproduced, rare dj in new mylar shows chips and watermarks still displays ok from the front and the entire title is legible on the backstrip. Frt panel shows a b/w photo of the author astride on an orange/cream background with black title and ruled frames on both panels. Profusely illustrated with b/w photographs and line drawings by Paul Brown. Brown is not listed in the book as the artist, he is listed on the frt dj flap. Col. Chamberlin's first book "Riding and Schooling Horses," has been accepted as the best American book on its subject. This, his second book, will quickly take its place beside the first, for the two volumes form the standard modern American work on riding, training and schooling horses. In this book the author considers the selection, conformation and gaits of a horse, the beauties and defects of every part, head carriage and the objectives of training, the steps in breaking a colt, the advanced work in training and training the horse to jump.
