Horse Packing: A Manual of Pack Transportation - Softcover
Unlike the majority of authors who had written on the subject, Post was not only a former military man, he had also made a record-breaking equestrian trip through the rugged Andes mountains of South America. Originally published in 1914, “Horse Packing” was an instant success, incorporating as it did not only the very essence of the science of packing horses and mules, but giving Post’s own valuable insights into what had personally worked for him out on the trail. The book is amply illustrated with a multitude of drawings showing how to secure loads, tie an assortment of various rope hitches, and even choose the proper pack animal. This rediscovered classic remains fascinating reading for students of the horse or history.
