About this book
A dispute over the right sort of saddle sets Theodore Ayrault Dodge talking about what makes a capable rider. Drawing on decades of riding, he explains why his own physical needs led him to a padded saddle and challenges the authority of passing fashions. His conversational account connects practical knowledge with observations of Boston riding culture, military experience and the habits of horses.
Advice addressed to Tom brings the discussion down to the hands and reins. Dodge explains ways of shifting a double rein, distinguishes the use of curb and snaffle, and insists that a rider's balance should not depend on pulling against the horse's mouth. Chapters cover seats, gaits, schooling and jumping, while photographs of Patroclus supply a further study of movement.
