| Summary | "Hints on Horsemanship, to a Nephew and Niece" by George Greenwood is a practical manual on equestrian skills, likely written in the mid-19th century. This instructional work aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of riding techniques, with an emphasis on correcting common mistakes and enhancing horse-rider communication. The content suggests a focus on both theoretical principles and practical applications for various riding styles. The opening of the text discusses the inadequacies of the military riding style, which emphasizes a one-handed approach to controlling the horse—an approach deemed unsuitable for ordinary riders. Greenwood argues for the importance of using both hands on the reins to achieve better control and communication with the horse. He highlights several common errors made by riders and sets the stage for a detailed examination of proper techniques for holding reins, turning, and effective communication with horses. Overall, the beginning establishes a foundation for understanding the relationship between rider and horse while addressing the nuances of riding that will be further explored in the subsequent chapters.
