Foreword by J.B. Boothroyd
This omnibus edition contains much of Norman Thelwell's invaluable advice to aspiring equestrians on how to get into the saddle and stay there; each item illustrated with inimitable and deadly clarity. From the first publication of Angels on Horseback in 1957, the Thelwell pony entered the language - and the libraries of horse-lovers everywhere.
