Synopsis "Eighteenth Century Military Equitation: "a Method of Breaking Horses, and Teaching Soldiers to Ride" by the Earl of Pembroke & "a Treatise on Military Equitation" by William Tyndale (in English)"
Eighteenth Century Equitation presents two classic English works on the training of military riders and horses at the start of the Napoleonic era, when "the cavalry arm," as Louis A. DiMarco has observed, "reached the highest point of its popular and professional acclaim"-- A Method of Breaking Horses, and Teaching Soldiers to Ride, by Henry Herbert, 10th Earl of Pembroke, and A Treatise on Military Equitation, by William Tyndale.Written for riding masters and officers in British service, these clear and concise manuals will provide contemporary equestrian readers with historical knowledge of military theory as practiced by the light cavalry, historical insight on a moment in the evolution of horsemanship as influenced by mounted warfare, and sound principles and lessons still valuable for the improvement of horsemanship and equitation--professional or amateur, military or civilian. Xenophon Press is pleased to present these important works by the Earl of Pembroke and William Tyndale in facsimile, reproducing the fourth and final edition of Pembroke's work and the only edition of Tyndale's. The texts are complete with their original 22 plates, and are accompanied with an introduction and explanatory notes by Dr. Charles Caramello, John H. Daniels Fellow at the National Sporting Library and Museum in Middleburg, Virginia.
