The Saddle Horse: a Complete Guide for Riding and Training

This illustrated volume was published in 1881.

From the Publisher's Preface:

The rapidly-growing fondness for horseback riding,
among ladies as well as gentlemen, has created a large
demand for a work on Saddle-Horses. We know of no
writings so thoroughly practical and useful, and so com-
pletely covering the subject, as the various papers of
Col. Geo. E. Waring, Jr., heretofore printed in the
" American Agriculturist. " We have accordingly brought
these together in the present volume, supplementing them
with a small work by E. L. Anderson, who is in England
regarded as a standard authority.

Any one, lady or gentleman, young or old, who desires
to acquire the art of horsemanship, will find all that is
required in this book.
