Bride Wise

By: Goldschmidt, S. G.

"Bride Wise" is a comprehensive and authoritative manual dedicated to the fine art of horsemanship and the technical nuances of horse training. Written by Lieutenant-Colonel S. G. Goldschmidt, a seasoned expert in equestrian sports, the work serves as an essential guide for riders seeking to improve their communication and control over their mounts. The text focuses heavily on the mechanics of the horse, the psychology of animal behavior, and the physical discipline required of the rider to achieve a harmonious partnership.

Throughout the book, Goldschmidt provides practical instructions on schooling, the use of aids, and the development of a responsive, light-mouthed horse. He covers various aspects of riding, from basic handling to the more specialized requirements of hunting and polo. By emphasizing a sympathetic approach grounded in experience and observation, the author outlines how to develop a horse that is truly "bridle wise." This classic work remains a valuable resource for its timeless advice on equestrian discipline, offering deep insights into the traditions of English riding and the mastery of equine management. It is a significant contribution to the literature of the stable and the field, appealing to both the novice student and the experienced equestrian.
