Hints on Driving Horses (Harness, Carriage, Etc)
HINTS ON DRIVING HORSES By Captain C.Morley Knight A READ COUNTRY BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT Originally published in 1884, this extremely scarce early work on driving horses is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and illustrations. This excellent little book was written in an era when "handling the ribbons" was not only a pleasurable pastime, but was almost the sole means of transport - hence any hints on making driving more simple, and consequently, more safe, were of inestimable value. In view of the steadily growing interest in this pastime and the constant demand for information on harnessing and driving, this book will prove of great value with its detailed wisdom aimed at both tyro and expert. The book consists of two hundred and twelve pages divided into twelve Comprehensive Chapters, each illustrated with explanatory line drawings: Harness. Driving-Single Harness. Driving-Double Harness. Curricle and Cape Cart. Driving Four Horses-Position of Coachman. Four Horses-The Reins. Four in Hand. The Whip. Starting. Pulling Up. Turning. Useful Hints. Tandem Driving. Tandem Harness. Breaking to Harness. Etc. This is a fascinating read for any driving enthusiast or historian of this mode of transport, but also contains much information and advise that is still extremely useful and practical today. Many of the early equestrian titles, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.Keywords: Driving HorsesPleasurable Pastime Country Books Line Drawings Tyro Morley Ribbons Reprint Illustrations Wisdom Read Books Hints On Driving Country Classic
Illustrated Horse Breaking
ILLUSTRATED HORSE-BREAKING - 1908 - Dear IRRtfe WHO HAS BEEN MY BEST HELPER AND SOUNDEST ADVISER WHEN I HAVE BEEN BREAKING HORSES IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD - PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. - I OFFER this work to the favourable consideration of the public, as an attempt to describe a reasoned-out system of horse-breaking, which I have found, by practical experience, to be easy of execution, rapid in its effects, and requiring the possession of no exceptional strength, activity, pluck, or horsemanship by the operator, who, to become expert in it, -ill, as a rule, need only practice. It is in accordance with our English and Irish ideas on the subject for it aims at teaching the horse manners, and giving him a snafflebridle mouth so that he will go up to the bridle, and bend himself in thorough obedience to rein and leg. As a personal explanation, I may mention that after having spent many years racing and training in India, during which time I practised the ordinary methods of breaking, I returned to England, where I learned the use of the standing martingale and long driving reins, as applled specially to jumpers, from AIr. John Hubert Aloore, who was the cleverest maker of steeplechasers Ireland ever knew. He, I may remark, obtained these methods, in his youth, from an old Irish breaker, named Fallon, who was born more than a century ago. I had also valuable instruction in horse-taming from Professor Sample. Having read an account of hiM. Raabe and Lunels hz apolasso, as means of control for veterinary operations, I conceived, with happy results, the idea of utilising this ingenious contrivance in breaking. I also learned, about the sameL time, how to balter a loose horse without runningany danger of being kicked, or bitten. Having thus acquired a fair amount of information, on what has always been to me a favourite subject, I naturally wished to put it into practice. As I knew, judging from my former ignorance, how much men in India stood in need of instruction in horse-breaking, I determined to return to that country with the object of teaching this art so as to acquire the experience I needed, and to pay my expenses at the same time. I am glad to say that I was successful in both respects. During a two years tour, I held classes in all the principal stations of the. Empire-from Trichinopoly to Peshawur, and from Quettn to Afandalay-and, having met a very large number of vicious animals and fine horsemen, I obtained experience, and greatly added to my stock of knowledge, which I shall now try to utilise for the benefit of my readers. As I proceeded through India, I felt the necessity of rejecting some methods I had formerly prized, altering others, and adopting new ones so that the course of instruction which I was able to give to my more recent classes, was far more extensive, and 6f better proved utility, than what I had to offer at the beginning of my travels. The great want which I had at first felt, was a method by which a person could secure and handle, with perfect safety, any horse, no matter how vicious he might be. However, after many kicks, a few bites, and several lucky escapes, I was able to perfect the required method, which is so simple, that the only wonder is that I did not think of it before. I may explain that the Australian horses met with in India, where they forin a considerable proportion of the animals used for riding and driving, are far moredangerous ant1 difficult to handle and control than British stock...
On Horsemanship
On Horsemanship is a treatise on horsemanship. Written c. 350 BC it is one of the oldest such in existence. Xenophon details the best qualities to look for in a horse, and the non-abusive training of a horse in classical dressage and for military and general use. He quotes other, apparently more celebrated contemporaries of his, whose texts have since been lost, particularly a man named only "Simon".
