Cavaletti [Charles Harris copy with his notes]; Schooling of Horse & Rider over Ground Rails by Klimke, Reiner - 1969

London: J.A. Allen, 1969. First English-language edition. Hardcover. Very good (taking into account the notes)/good. 128p, many photos and line ills. Trans. from German by Daphne Machin Goodall. Reviews mounted in, also Harris's typed list summarizing his thoughts on the book. Jacket is soiled. Once again horseman/critic Harris takes his red pen to skewer a popular manual. Here he focuses on the confusion of photos and captions and on the translation, as well as Klimke's "lack of equestrian scholarship" and "technical blunders and howlers." He concedes that Klimke is "an extremely good practical horseman." (Wells 4247) Can be sent outside the US for less than the default shipping rate.
