Synopsis

A modern classic by the U.S. Cavalry's greatest horseman - everything the rider needs to know about selecting, training, and riding the hunter-type horse, from evaluating it's conformation to basic dressage and jumping. 

The genius of Brigadier General Harry Dwight Chamberlin’s contributions to horsemanship links a modified concept of Italian forward riding with French dressage and the American cavalry’s vast experience in riding long distances. The totality of Chamberlin’s writing provides a complete protocol to train both horse and rider for Eventing, Show Jumping, Endurance Riding, Hunting, and just plain hacking for fun. In Training Hunters, Jumpers and Hacks he focuses on the training of the horse for various disciplines.

About this title

Review:

“It is, in its field, the greatest book of the century not only in the United States but in the world. I know nothing comparable produced abroad.” - Vladimir Littauer

“So often, I think I have come up with an idea of my own, only to find it in one of Chamberlin’s books.” - William Steinkraus

“Chamberlin is to horsemanship as Mozart is to music.” - James Wofford

George Morris ranks Chamberlin as “the 20th Century’s greatest combined horseman, theorist, teacher, and writer.”
