Xenophons The Art of Horsemanship - translated by Morris Morgan
Nearly every other horse book I've ever read mentions Xenophon, who's wise words on horsemanship and horsekeeping were written 2300 years ago.
"If anybody expects to calm such a horse down by tiring him out with riding swiftly and far, his supposition is just the reverse of the truth..."
A student of Socrates, Xenophon was an accomplished cavalryman and one of the foremost scholars of his day. This translation offers a fluid interpretation of the ancient Greek's advice, plus 38 carefully chosen illustrations. - Softcover 5" x 8", 208 pages |
