About this Item

Published by Simpsons of Piccadilly's Riding & Country Shop, this is a 36 page guide on how to dress correctly for all types of equestrian events. Each of the distinguished contributors has provided a chapter on their specialism, including dressage, eventing, show jumping, racing, driving, showing, hacking, side saddle, hunting and hunter trials. Illustrated throughout with black/white photographs, woodcuts by Thomas Bewick and his school, and also a six stage diagram on how to tie a stock. Now a Waterstone's bookshop, Simpsons of Piccadilly was reputedly the inspiration behind the hit British TV sit-com "Are you being served?". A lovely period piece.
