Synopsis

This highly illustrated book gives clear, concise information on all major items of tack, clothing and other equipment, both traditional and modern, used on horses today. Advice on different types of saddles and bridles, for example, is supplied to enable the reader to make an appropriate choice for his or her intended use. The important points of fit, correct adjustment and use are emphasized in an effort to prevent the abuse of tack (and so often, therefore, the horse) widely seen in all equestrian spheres.
Schooling aids, properly called 'gadgets', are discussed, with their pros and cons, in an attempt to clear up misunderstandings (they are not necessarily a bad thing!) and particular attention is paid to new developments in tack, clothing, material and textiles, to give the reader a truly up-to-date, reliable guide to what can be a very complicated area of horse management.
