| Summary | "A New Illustrated Edition of J. S. Rarey's Art of Taming Horses" by J. S. Rarey is a comprehensive guide on horse training written in the mid-19th century. This work details the author's innovative methods for taming and training horses, making it accessible not only to seasoned horsemen but also to novice equestrians, particularly the young and timid. The book's central topic revolves around Rarey's approach, which emphasizes gentleness and understanding the horse's nature rather than the traditional harsh methods of breaking and training. The opening of the book provides context for Mr. Rarey’s revolutionary system, sharing anecdotes about his experiences and the limitations of conventional horse taming methods. It highlights the challenges faced by trainers and outlines Rarey's philosophy that focuses on building trust and patience. The beginning illustrates Rarey's evolution from a rough rider utilizing traditional methods to a skilled horseman who developed a more humane and effective approach, asserting that with the right techniques, any horse can learn to be docile and obedient without fear or pain. This introduction sets the stage for the detailed instructions that follow, inviting readers to explore and apply his techniques responsibly. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
