Excerpt from The Handbook of Horsemanship: Containing Plain Practical Rules for Riding, and Hints to the Reader on the Selection of Horses
The points of the Horse, indicating his action, strength, wind, &c., as exhibited in his external structure, can be advantageously studied even by the superficial observer.
The practices in Leaping are more particularly adapted for the. Amusement and instruction of Volunteer Cavalry.
In order to preserve the methodical arrangement of the course of instruction, and facilitate the study, some remarks on the Conformation of the Horse, his Defects and Vices, with their remedies, &c., are contained in separate Chapters, interspersed through out the work.
