PREFACE 



The International Horse Shows of 1907 and 

 1908 having proved that Continental methods 

 of horse training give excellent results, I take 

 the liberty of publishing this small volume, the 

 contents of which are the outcome of several 

 years' study and practice, undertaken with the 

 object of finding out to what extent the higher 

 training of the riding schools in London and 

 Paris, based on the teaching of the best 

 authorities, is of practical use in open air 

 horsemanship, and in helping to make a horse 

 into a good hack and hunter.
