Eighteenth Century Equitation presents two classic English works on the training of military riders and horses at the start of the Napoleonic era, when "the cavalry arm," as Louis A. DiMarco has observed, "reached the highest point of its popular and professional acclaim"- A Method of Breaking Horses, and Teaching Soldiers to Ride, by Henry Herbert, 10th Earl of Pembroke, and A Treatise on Military Equitation, by William Tyndale. Written for riding masters and officers in British service, these clear and concise manuals will provide contemporary equestrian readers with historical knowledge of military theory as practiced by the light cavalry, historical insight on a moment in the evolution of horsemanship as influenced by mounted warfare, and sound principles and lessons still valuable for the improvement of horsemanship and equitation-professional or amateur, military or civilian. Xenophon Press is pleased to present these important works by the Earl of Pembroke and William Tyndale in facsimile, reproducing the fourth and final edition of Pembroke's work and the only edition of Tyndale's. The texts are complete with their original 22 plates, and are accompanied with an introduction and explanatory notes by Dr. Charles Caramello, John H. Daniels Fellow at the National Sporting Library and Museum in Middleburg, Virginia.

Autorenporträt
"Henry Herbert, tenth Earl of Pembroke (1734-94), self-described as "horse mad" since youth, attended riding academies abroad, and entered British cavalry service in 1752. Rising apace through the ranks in the King's Dragoon Guards and 1st Foot Guards, Pembroke was appointed lieutenant-colonel in the 15th Light Dragoons in 1759. Joining his regiment in 1760 in Germany, during the Seven Years' War, he left regimental service, in the same year, to command a cavalry brigade. He was appointed to the staff as major-general in 1761, and promoted lieutenant-general in 1770 and general in 1782. Pembroke concurrently held appointment as colonel of the 1st (Royal) Dragoons from 1764 until his death in 1794." by Charles Caramello
