One of the first books I bought to help me learn to ride aside was The Sidesaddle Legacy. I read and reread this book...and to this day, I still go back to it as a reference.
..and another was the The Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Sidesaddle, which I highly recommend! This wonderful book will educate you in the 'lingo' of our sport and help you understand any other manuscript about the subject!
Books I Currently Do Not Own.
To Whom The Goddess is a book that comes up on E-bay every so often that I would love to own!
..and another, A Young Ladies Equestrian Manuel looks interesting.
..and this is seen by many as the Sidesaddle Bible, Sidesaddle Doreen Archer Houblon ~ this is a revised edition by Sylvia Stanierby. I have bid on a few copies of this book, but it seems to have eluded my capture. Not for long though, I hope!
You can find online the "young lady's equestrian manual", as a PDF file. if you don't find it, email me and I could probably send it to you by email.
ReplyDeleteI found a copy of "To Whom The Goddess" down in Virginia for a super price, what a find! It's a neat book.
ReplyDeleteI also saw a copy of the "Young Ladies Equestrian Manual" in an antique store and it was REALLY expensive!! Neat old book though.
