Contents: Publisher's note:

...only fifty years ago, the idea that jumping artificial fences demanded skill was still in its infancy, described by one Major-general as "a means of keeping our NCO's amused while we were playing polo." The sport's spectacular progress, from the first high and wide leap competition for hunters in Dublin in 1868, to the present day time and fault trials over demanding courses by specialist horses, is here charted for the first time.
