A translation of Xenophon's "Art of Horsemanship" can be found on line at

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Aabo%3Atlg%2C0032%2C013&query=init.

or you can do a dot search on google for Xenophon Art.of.Horsemanship and 
find several other sites that you might prefer in a different format. His 
writing was one of the first things I ever downloaded over the net.

Interesting how this guy had it ALL figured out--way before Lyons, Parelli, 
or Roberts, way before Strausser, way before Ivers--Xenephon was speaking on 
the right way to work with horses. Somehow through the ages this information 
was lost, and we're finally getting back on track. I'd take him for an 
endurance mentor anytime.

============================================================
Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs
to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where
you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his
cool.
