Riding to Hounds - Containing Information on Horse Riding for the Hunt

This book contains a complete and detailed handbook on traditional horseback hunting, written by the master of sports writing, John ¿Stonehenge¿ Walsh. A comprehensive and detailed guide to hunting from horseback, this wonderful book would make the perfect addition to collections of antiquarian hunting literature. It constitutes a must-have for fans and collectors of Stonehenge¿s work. London-born John Henry Walsh (1810 - 1888) was a prolific English writer of sports-news who often went by the pseudonym ¿Stonehenge¿. His notable works include "The Modern Sportsman's Gun and Rifle" (1882), "The Horse in the Stable and in the Field" (1861), and "The Shot-Gun and Sporting Rifle" (1859). Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
