Description of
The Art of Horsemanship and on the Cavalry General [Audiobook]
B0CNDSG1CN M4B@192 kbps Author: Xenophon, Morris H. Morgan Narrator: David Rintoul Xenophon's The Art of Horsemanship is a highly unusual text in the corpus of Classical Greek literature. It is a short survey on the various aspects of care for horses as seen by a highly experienced rider from the 5th century BCE. It is particularly notable because so many of its observations are relevant to the modern rider. Xenophon, friend of Socrates and professional soldier, is best known as the author Anabasis, the vivid account of a failed military expedition deep into Persia. The Art of Horsemanship is very different in tone and content-a practical study from deep personal knowledge gained from working with horses, but none the less fascinating.
