In our day and time hundreds of thousands of Americans of all ages continue to develop the art of horseback riding for the sense of physical well-being which it gives to even a novice. It is, indeed, well said that, The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a horse is good for the inside of a man."
Another group of riders will pass beyond this stage into exciting, exhilarating stages of showing and hunting. It is especially for this group this edition of the famous Fort Riley book of instructions, Horsemanship is presented. Everyone who is ever to know the fun of "throwing a leg over a horse" will find something in here that will make his horseback riding hours safer and more pleasurable. Every rider who rides the quietest horse into the bridle path will learn something here of how the horse will react to certain demands. The rider on his first--or hundredth horse show, his first hunt of one of many years of activity in the hunt field will find a treasure trove of instruction and advice.
