Monte Foreman’s Horse Training Science Horse Training Book

By Monte Foreman and Patrick Wyse
Publisher: University Of Oklahoma Press, 1987, ISBN: 0-8061-1583-1
Monte Foreman was one of America’s foremost trainers of horses and riders, and many advances in western training have come from his years of research into the action and interaction of horse and rider, research aimed at improving their athletic ability as a team. It was Foreman who first applied still and motion-picture photography to the sport of riding, to determine beyond doubt how horses move most naturally and efficiently. His training methods are applicable to all kinds of Western and English riding. Monte Foreman’s Horse-Training Science introduces beginning and advanced riders to Foreman’s method, which he taught successfully in clinics for many years with Patrick Wyse, his first accredited instructor. Step-by-step instructions and more than 300 photographs and drawings explain how to execute the turn on the forehand, the side pass, leads, the posting trot and the natural depart, flying lead changes, balanced stops, rolls, and spins. The horse and rider team that becomes proficient in the Foreman method will enter a whole new world of enjoyment, performance skill, and competitive achievement. Comes with full color dust jacket.

Riding Annual IV Vintage Horse Book

Edited By Phyllis Hinton
Publisher: Country Life Limited, London, 1966, ISBN: none given
Riding and Driving Magazine first appeared in 1936, published by Country Life. The magazine was a sumptuous production, aimed at the same clientele who read Country Life Magazine. The majority of its articles were on equestrianism and the world of the horse, although it did include topical content. The magazine was published throughout World War 2, although because of the paper shortage issues were cut from 12 a year to 4. Although Riding Magazine could be bound by the publishers at the end of each year, there was no Annual as such until the 1960s. The first appeared in 1964, and was published by Country Life. The Annual was edited by Phyllis Hinton, a former editor of Riding. The content was principally non-fiction, ranging from Michael Bullen's first-hand experiences of Badminton to Hector McLean on naming his family (and his horses). Riding Magazine had, from the outset, included a young rider's section. The Annual only managed three publications in this format, and publication of the Annual by Country Life stopped with Riding Annual IV in 1966. Included in this issue: Long Distance Riding, The Joy Of Driving, The Polo Horseman, Enamored Of An Ass, Buying The Right Horse, Fascinating Coat Color Patterns, The Hunting Mums Of England, Farriers, Amateurs Over Fences, Striptease On Horseback(really???), etc. Lots of black & white photos. Comes with full color dust jacket which has many tears, rips, missing pieces, creases & wear, book has some age yellowing.
