A
Greek named Xenophon (430-ca 335 B.C.) wrote the first fully preserved
manual on the riding horse. It is entitled "The Art of Horsemanship. "
Xenophon was a horseman for his entire life, first as a cavalryman and then
as a country gentleman on an estate given to him by the King of Sparta.
Xenophon differs from other ancient writers on the horse in that he urges
his reader to know the horse's "psyche," its mentality. He knew that an
animal which had confidence in the understanding and good will of its rider
would more effectively respond to the commands of the rider. Xenophon
encouraged a mutual respect between man and horse
