Sir Francis Bond Head watched Mr. Rarey gentle wild horses and set down the whole art of horsemanship. Seat and balance, riding at timber, water jumping, and the honest use and abuse of spurs all get their due. Brisk, expert, and full of the confidence of a real horseman. A spirited guide to riding well and treating the horse fairly.

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.
