Excerpt from The Training of Cavalry Remount Horses Most certainly not with either. Our men are superior to those of other nations, and there is no quality in which the well-bred English horse does not excel, no performance in which he cannot beat all competition. No, it is the system which is at fault. To ascertain and expose the faults of an existing state of things is easier than to substitute a different one, which shall not be liable to greater objections; a trial of the system which I advocate, will, at least, prove interesting, and I hope establish beyond a doubt the great advantages to be derived from it.

Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ...their horses well up to the bit, and putting them together with the use of hand and leg; to see that in all turns, circles, &c, &c, the men bend their horses' heads and necks in the new direction before leaving the boards. Endeavour to make them perfect in their bending and trotting lessons; practise the going "about on the haunches" by frequently halting the rides when at the boards, and giving the word, "On the Haunches About" "March." You then form up and finish with the same bending lessons you began with, namely, "Circling on the forehand," "on the Haunches," "Reining in," and "Applying the Spur." The Horse's Paces. WALK, TROT, AND CANTER. How to Strike off a Horse to both Hands at a Canter--How to change when False or Disunited. The Walk. Monsieur Baucher does not begin the trot till he has perfected the horse at the walk, but I found it answered better in practice to go on with the trotting at the same time; however get a thing well done at a walk before you try it at a trot. Before moving forward, the horse should be light in hand, the head brought home (and not with the nose stuck out), the neck arched, and he should stand evenly on both hind legs. Close the legs and communicate a sufficient impulse to carry him forward, but do not ease the hand at the same time, as laid down in the old system, because if you do, the head and neck may relapse into a position which will defy the control of the hand. The rider should always have a light feeling of both reins, and when the horse bores on the bit, keep the hand steady, use both legs, which, by bringing his haunches under him, will oblige the horse to take his weight off your hand. THE TROT. A horse trots...

A biography of the British Army officer and his role in the Crimean War at the Charge at Balaklava. Captain Louis Nolan delivered the order that produced one of the most famous blunders in all military history—the Charge of the Light Brigade. Nolan’s conduct and the Charge itself have been the subject of intense, sometimes bitter debate ever since. Yet there has been no recent biography of Nolan. He remains an ambiguous, controversial figure to this day. In this fresh and perceptive study, David Buttery attempts to set the record straight. He reassesses the man and looks at his military career, for there was much more to Louis Nolan than his fatal role in the Charge. This sympathetic account of his life throws new light on the Victorian army and its officer class, and on the conduct of the war in the Crimea. It also offers the reader an inside view of the most notorious episode of that war, the Charge at Balaklava on 25 October 1854.
