Riding cross-country

Excerpts from texts that Chamberlin studied at West Point and in the basic and the advanced horsemanship courses at Ft. Riley's Mounted Service School.

And a rich collection of rare photos including:Never-before-published photos of the Inter-Allied Games of 1919 where the Italian jumping performance causes American officers to question traditional principles
Reprint of a rare French cavalry booklet that describes in photos the Cavalry School at Saumur published when Chamberlin studied there

The Chamberlin Reader describes the milestones in Harry Chamberlin's career during which he created the foundation for what George H. Morris calls "The American Jumping Style" and establishes what James Wofford calls "a whole new system" for training horses and riders.
This book is the companion volume to General Chamberlin: America's Equestrian Genius and contains valuable insights into the art and science of riding and training horses.
