Theodore Ayrault Dodge
147 pages~2 hr 56 min read4 chapters$4.99
A retired cavalry officer talks horses from the saddle, and few ever talked them better. Dodge introduces Patroclus and Penelope, two mounts he knew intimately, using their paces and quirks to teach seat, hand, and the true partnership of rider and horse. Genial, expert, and full of the open road. For anyone who has loved a good horse, a conversation worth joining.
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.
