Descrizione Recensioni

This is one of a trio of books ("The Saddle", "Bitting" and "Training Aids") which combine to form a practical manual covering the origin, action, use and recommended fitting of a very wide range of items within the three areas. Written in a clear, readable style and well-illustrated throughout, the books should be of interest to all horse-owners and riders and of value to examination candidates, providing as it does a sound understanding of the subject. This book on the saddle includes a concise history of development, demonstrating how the saddle evolved in accordance with changing needs and the advance of equestrian theory and practice. The methods of saddle construction, the materials in general use, including the modern synthetics, are assessed and discussed. A section is devoted to the analysis of the types of modern saddle, their selection for the purpose intended and the principles involved in fitting. These aspects are examined in relation to the equine structure and movement and then in regard to the rider and the theory involved in the various competitive pursuits. Also highlighted are the common failings in modern design and construction, as well as a review of the latest innovations in the industry. The final chapter is devoted to the saddle's mountings - girths, leathers, irons etc. - and to cleaning and maintenance.
