The BHS Complete Manual of Equitation: The Training of Horse and Rider (British Horse Society)

I was expecting to learn something new but this book has info from back in the 60's.

Overall information is clearly illustrated and communicated. Heads-up on the overuse of the word "whilst".

Bought to refresh some of the basics info, nicely explained and worth to have on your bookshelf. Going back to it now and then. Happy with the purchase!

Fantastic book

This manual is very clear and complete, never boring, easy to understand and a plesure to read. A precious tool for beginners!Very interesting.

The best and most concise actual 'manual' for horse-riding in the European style (known as 'English riding' in the USA) and for the training of the riding-horse in the same style. Having both aspects in the same volume gives Beginner and Intermediate-level riders a good idea on how the horse has been trained, so that their own riding suits the horse's training (i.e., the horse's education) and experience. This helps improve the rider's own performance and development as a rider.A continuously revised and updated manual, the present edition contains the formal European 'scales of training' and all other necessary information for riders and trainers.A must-have book for anyone who wants to ride as a serious hobby, and a necessary reference book for English-using teachers of horse-riding. This is the standard reference book for all - the ultimate go-to reference book.
