About this book

Xenophon, the Athenian soldier and pupil of Socrates, wrote this short treatise for younger friends who would handle horses, drawing on long experience of riding and of leading a cavalry troop. He covers buying a horse and raising it, and closes on the arms and gear of a cavalryman. At the start he says he will follow an earlier treatise by Simon where they agree and fill its gaps. The English rendering is by H. G. Dakyns, from his four-volume Works of Xenophon.
