Black Tent announces an exciting new book by
Lesley Skipper:
The
Cleveland Bay Horse
The first book about the Cleveland Bay for
40 years, this
book aims to increase awareness of the excellent qualities of the
Cleveland Bay, and to encourage breeders to take
action to preserve it for posterity. It covers
the origins and history of the Cleveland Bay;
its characteristics – conformation, movement,
colour and temperament – management, training,
showing the Cleveland, and much more besides.
The book gives an overview of the breed’s
critical situation, and offers suggestions about
how this situation could be improved to ensure
the breed’s survival..
Illustrated in
colour and black-and-white, this book is a long-awaited and
extremely valuable addition to the equestrian literature.

By Paul L. Dawson:
Crippled Splendour: The French Cavalry
from Valmy to Toulouse
Napoleon's
Gods:
The
Grenadiers à Cheval
1812–1815
This book
provides a brief introduction to Napoleon’s
Imperial Guard and the regiment’s place in
it, as well as brief early history of the
regiment, and a hoof to tack description of
the
Grenadiers à Cheval
from the fateful Russian campaign of 1812 to
its disbandment in 1815 following the
disaster of Waterloo. It describes the
horses, uniforms and equipment of the
regiment, as well as regimental
organisation, and provides short biographies
of the officers and some of the men, giving
a vivid picture of how the men of the
regiment lived, and in some cases, how they
died.
