The Australian Horse and Pony Handbook

This is a basic handbook for those who wish to learn about horses and horsemanship: to the points to look for in choosing a pony or hack, the necessary gear and the care of it, how to look after a horse, how to handle and ride, how to meet tests in dressage and all sporting trials and events. This is a commonsense guide for riders and owners as well as for the organizers and spectators at gymkhanas and sporting events and horse trials. The illustrations are especially valuable. Drawn by a well-known artist who is also a distinguished member of the horse world, they picture clearly all the points even brilliant photography could not hope to illustrate.
