A well-schooled horse and a light, sure hand make riding look like conversation. Robert Henderson writes for the horsewoman, covering the choice, training, and everyday handling of the lady's mount with practical, patient care. A graceful Victorian guide to the saddle and the bridle and the partnership between them. Take the reins with a teacher who prizes both spirit and control.

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.
