Wow; I'm torn--I'm glad it is readily available now, but I wonder what this does to the value of my hard-sought copy...

Gentlemen:
Thanks for the consolation--yes, it is much in the same category as "Horses and Saddlery", "Riding and Schooling Horses", "American Military Horsemanship" and "The American Military Saddle"; always within reach!
