Chemical Tradename Dictionary Book

A British showjumper of the day describes methods for training horses to jump, with photos.

I read this from the library years ago, and I remember thinking that the operation he ran came across as highly commercial. Horses were clearly being trained up for sale or competition and were not coming across as individuals with character.

If I recall correctly, it was this book where the author complains that his girl grooms all fall in love with a horse with a handsome head, especially if it is a rogue. He just considers the rogues to be time wasters for him.

This book can be more helpful to jumpers than general riding books because it is more focused. I highly recommend Anthony Paalman's book on training young horses. 'Training Show Jumpers.'
