[Dark-Draco · Rating 4 out of 5]

This has taken me ages to read - not because I found it boring, but rather because the style is a bit old fashioned and takes some concentration. The book was first published in 1959, which is probably one of the newer books in this series. The author goes through the schooling and training of horses right from first principles up to competing at Olympic level venues - a bit out of my league I think! Still, a lot of the advise is still sound, although we tend to word things in different ways these days. There are also some practices described that are really not considered ok - the section on rapping horses legs over jumps I missed out completely. Still, an interesting read and I picked up some tips too.
