Description
Summary
Written as a guide to help native (Spahi) non-commissioned officers incorporate new recruits, and newly acquired horses, into effective cavalry units, this book presents a method formed around the Arab (North-African) style of riding. While indicating its limitations, he stresses its benefits: the ease with which it can be acquired, the confidence which the native saddle imparts upon the rider, and the constant impulsion it imparts upon the horse. General Decoins also explains the principles of the Arab bit, removing some of the mystery that has surrounded this elegant instrument. It is a fitting companion to Daumas' Horses of the Sahara, written by another French General half a century later
