The Way to Perfect Horsemanship, first published in 1959, was immediately recognised as a classic work of equestrian literature. It gives the reader a clear insight into the psychology of the horse as well as examining its muscular system and the mechanics of movement. It explains in detail the basic principles of training, the fundamentals of riding and the effects of the aids. Everyone, whether teacher, trainer, competitor, judge or occasional rider, will benefit enormously from the study of this book. The Allen Classic Series brings together in a collected edition, important out-of-print works of equestrian scholarship which would otherwise be inaccessible to the dedicated enthusiast.
