Summary: "Riding Recollections, 5th ed." by G. J. Whyte-Melville is a comprehensive guide on horsemanship and riding techniques written in the late 19th century. The text explores various aspects of riding, including the relationship between horse and rider, techniques of riding different types of horses, and the philosophy of horsemanship. The author shares personal experiences and observations, intending to educate both novice and experienced riders about the nuances of effectively riding horses. The opening of "Riding Recollections" emphasizes the importance of establishing mutual trust and understanding between horse and rider. The author highlights that kindness and a gentle approach are crucial in training and riding horses, arguing against reliance on harshness or coercion. Through examples and anecdotes, including the gentle treatment of horses and the art of effective riding, the narrative sets the stage for a philosophical exploration of horsemanship, where the rider's skill, temperament, and respect for the animal are pivotal in achieving a successful partnership in riding.
