| Summary | "The Horse and His Rider" by Sir Francis Bond Head is a detailed exploration of horsemanship, specifically written in the mid-19th century. The text combines practical horsemanship advice with observations on the relationship between horses and humans, capturing the historical and emotional significance of this bond. The preface reveals that the author, although not part of the traditional "sporting world," shares his experiences and insights on horse riding and management derived from various public and personal engagements. At the start of the book, the author provides a rich preamble outlining the enduring relationship between humans and horses throughout history and across cultures. He dispels the notion that he is an expert in the sporting community but asserts his authority through years of riding experience. The opening portion elaborates on the horse's unique characteristics, such as its bravery and instinctual behaviors, emphasizing the importance of understanding these qualities to master horsemanship. The author intends to guide readers who, like him, appreciate the joys of horseback riding beyond mere sporting ambitions. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
