The Manual of Horsemanship

British Horse society and the Pony club.

Hardback, second hand, illustrations.  6th edition (1966).

This, the sixth, edition has been considerably revised and is recommended for use by members of the British Horse Society, the Pony Club, the Riding Clubs and by other associated organisations.

It covers, with "Training the Young Horse and Pony," the entire syllabus of the Pony Club and has the aim of laying the foundations for good, basic and effective horsemanship which can later be developed, as desired, into more specialised forms of riding. It is also applicable to those of more mature age.

It is based on the fundamental principles and practices of horsemanship which have stood the test of time; at the same time it follows modern thinking on equitation and training.

Because it is the recognised official Manual of the Pony Club it is not considered necessary to substitute the word "horse" for "pony" in all sections where either word is equally applicable.

Instructors are recommended to read "Training the Young Horse and Pony" and "The Instructors Handbook" in conjunction with this Manual.

The Pony Club and Riding Club Tests and the B.H.S. Instruc-tors Examination are based on these books.
