![]() ![]() In Saddlery, all items used with the horse, are explained, and some items that are no longer in use - such as the Bucephalus noseband - are lamented, while the purpose of others which are commonly used but misunderstood by many are outlined. Some are heinous and probably no horse deserves them, but such devices will be always be used by the incompetent rider in an attempt to conquer their unfortunate and probably confused horse. ![]() There are no two ways about it - there is a mind-boggling array of equipment that is used - and misued - on the horse. The text has been substantially updated to include information and commentary on new practices and equipment. It's a larger format book for one thing, on a semi-gloss type of paper, which lends itself well to the addition of colour photographs and a greater number of line drawings.īut that is all merely cosmetic. My old copy of Saddlery is a 1977 reprint from the 1963 original, and the newly updated work adds much. This is a welcome update to the original work. The latest edition of the equestrian classic Saddlery was released just a few months before the death of its renowned author, Elwyn Hartley Edwards. ![]()
