Riding Recollections, 5th ed.
George John Whyte-Melville and Edgar Giberne
The best horseman, this author insists, rules by kindness rather than coercion. Whyte-Melville reflects on the use of the bridle, the abuse of the spur, the secret of good hands, a firm seat, and the quiet valour a rider needs. Wise, humane counsel wrapped in a lifetime of sport. Learn horsemanship from a writer who loved the horse first.
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.
