Trew, Cecil G. The Accoutrements of the Riding Horse. Presumed First Edition. Circa 1951. Book and dust jacket are both in good plus condition—they show foxing and there is a musty scent. Foreword by Maj.-Gen. Geoffrey Brooke.
This well-illustrated book delves more deeply into the sport of equestrianism than simply saddles, bridles, and bits. It actually surveys the entire history of the domesticated horse. One of the drawings depicts an Egyptian man from 2000 B.C. holding the reigns of a mount. Includes chapters covering bridles, bits, saddles, stirrups, spurs, horseshoes, armor, and the riding gear of the American cowboy. An attractive book; published only in the United Kingdom.
