Advice on handling and care, equitation, hunter-jumper horsemanship, and showmanship, by a 1940s Maclay trophy winner and later a judge. Includes a chapter on "Outwitting Your Horse." The details are now dated, but much of the advice is still sound. For many years this was one of the few American books on riding written for older children. (Wells 5130 cites 1st ed.).
