The Care and Repair of Saddlery

Through his first book, Repair Your Own Saddlery and Harness, the author offered a broad-based approach to the maintenance of saddlery and driving harness in general. With this book, he takes the horse owner through the introductory stages of saddlery repairs. For those of you who have never threaded a needle, except perhaps to plait a mane or tail, it explains how many repairs can be carried out with only the most elementary collection of tools. Throughout this book, the importance of safety is constantly highlighted, for, by systematically checking each item of saddlery, many breakages can be avoided.
