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.
