Hardbound. Condizione: Good. Limited Edition. Description: The title page is printed in red and black. Illustrations by Vincent Fane Handley, and also includes several black and white photo plates. Foreword by Lida L Fleitmann. The author, a Captain in the Italian Cavalry Reserves, states in his preface that horsemen can be divided into three categories -- (1) Regular officers and non-commissioned officers of the mounted arms; (2) Civilians who hav done compulsory military service in the mounted arms; and (3) Civilians with no military service. The first category, of course ranks highest in efficiency. The second class comes next in quality and the third class constitutes the mass of the amateur world; some are bad, some are good, a few excellent -- the last usually because they have had the good fortune to obtain proper training from a relative or friend who graduated from a cavalry school.''
