Good riding, George Greenwood insists, is not the stiff drill of the cavalry but a light and easy partnership. Written to a nephew and niece, his hints cover the seat, the hands, mounting, and the gentle indications that guide a horse. Warm, wise instruction from an old horseman. For the beginning rider who wants comfort and control in the saddle. Learn horsemanship the friendly way.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
