Excerpt from The Horseman: A Work on Horsemanship, Containing Plain Practical Rules for Riding, and Hints to the Reader on the Selection of Horses, to Which Is Annexed a Sabre Exercise for Mounted and Dismounted Service After a connection of nearly nine years with the cavalry service, and a close observance of everything relating to horsemanship, the author of this work has endeavored to convey practical information on all equestrian exercises by an easy and progressive method. To make the work more intelligible and interesting to all admirers of the horse and his performances, stable and jockey-terms have been substituted for all hard names, and as it is almost exclusively devoted to the art of riding, any reference to the veterinary art and all anatomical descriptions, with their technicalities, have been studiously avoided. These instructions are arranged on a concise and comprehensive plan, and all extraneous or superfluous matter is entirely excluded, so that the reader, as he advances, can see these principles clearly and perspicuously elucidated. The points of the horse, , indicating his action, strength, wind, etc., as exhibited in his external structure, can be advantageously studied even by the superficial observer.
