Horse Riding - 7 Vintage Horsemanship Books on CD Equestrianism refers to the skill of riding horses. This broad description includes both use of horses for practical, working purposes as well as recreational activities and competitive sports. Though the differences between English and Western riding appear dramatic, there are more similarities than most people think. Both styles require riders to have a solid seat, with the hips and shoulders balanced over the feet, with hands independent of the seat so as to avoid disturbing the balance of the horse and interfering with its performance.This listing is for a CD-Rom republication for a collection of 7 vintage Horse Riding How To Books. Titles include: 1842 - The Handbook Of Horsemanship - written by a Captain of the British Army. A wonderfully illustrated book illustrated book, over 140 pages and is a real treatise on horse riding.

In the Second Part of this work the subject of collecting will be explained in all its details ; for the present the reader will be called upon to acquire those rules only that are necessary for riding a horse broken in the usual manner." 140 pages. 1903 The Horsewomen by Alice Hayes A book which was the result of seven years experience of riding hundreds of horses in India, Ceylon, Egypt, China and South Africa. The most trying animals being those of which I was the rough-rider at my husband‟s horse-breaking classes. Since that edition came out, I have hunted a good deal, chiefly, in Leicestershire and Cheshire, and have taught many pupils, both of which experiences were of special advantage to me in preparing this new edition, because English ladies regard riding, principally, from a hunting point of view, and the best way to supplement one's education, is to try to teach. The directions about side-saddles and seat are the outcome of practical work and fortunate opportunities; and I hope they will be as useful to my readers as they have been to my pupils. 260 pages with dozens of illustrations.
