On Horsemanship is a book written by the ancient Greek philosopher and soldier, Xenophon. It is a guide to horse riding and care, and was written in the 4th century BC. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of horsemanship. Xenophon begins by discussing the qualities of a good horse, and how to choose one. He then goes on to describe how to train a horse, including how to teach it to obey commands and how to ride it properly. He also discusses the importance of proper grooming and care, including feeding, watering, and exercise. Throughout the book, Xenophon emphasizes the importance of treating horses with respect and kindness. He argues that a well-treated horse will be more obedient and will perform better, and that harsh treatment will only make the horse more difficult to work with. On Horsemanship is considered a classic work on the subject of horsemanship and has been widely read and studied for centuries. It is still relevant today, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in horse riding or care.To meet the case in which the horseman may chance to be leading his horse with the left hand and carrying his spear in the right, it would be good, we think, for every one to practise vaulting on to his seat from the right side also. In fact, he has nothing else to learn except to do with his right limbs what he has previously done with the left, and vice versa. And the reason we approve of this method of mounting is[8] that it enables the soldier at one and the same instant to get astride of his horse and to find himself prepared at all points, supposing he should have to enter the lists of battle on a sudden.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
