1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A history of where we came from.By A. KennedyThis text adds to the knowledge from the past that we should all be familiar with. From Bucher to the present there have been a few who have put into print the sum of their knowledge that those who come after can benefit. This writer was one of the great riders and trainers of that era.Any lover of the history of classic riding will love this text and the wisdom is timeless.
