This is a great, if not somewhat outdated, book. It is easy to see where modern riding came from. There are issues, such as women shouldn't ride astride, and some old-fashioned ideas.

On what I've read so far: The information is clear and techniques well explained although some are out dated and cruel. The read is however enjoyable andyou'll discoverthat someof today's "natural Horsemanship" existed long before those 2 words were put together.
I would recommend this book to any serious horseperson.
