LibriVox - Parkman's Oregon Trail

 Salvete Omnes,

a great book to listen (and /or read - eg this 1918 edited version): ''The Oregon Trail'' by the American historian Francis Parkman.

I have  been listening to this production on Librivox.

perhaps in the future I will share some horse-related stories and information form this fantastic travel literature work.

some of the illustrations created by Frederic Remington for one of the  more lavish editions.

our maestro Johann G. Pforr drew and painted  with ink a plate with the Danish horses. Two stallions, one in training with with a cavesson bridle.

Bericht und Ordnung der Gebiss a. 1578 - manuscript

 Salvete Omnes,

at the Austrian National Library they have this manuscript - by our prolific ecuyer Georg Engelhard Lohneysen.
Dated 1578AD it is beautifully written and illustrated - the men leading their mounts - done in gouache

.

.

Hungarian, Ottoman or Polish noble

.

mule or large donkey with a docked tail

the printed version of 1588  is condensed as per images  but equally pleasing in its beauty, but without the plates with horses and mule being led. I do not read old German so to me these plates are it has to be - on Fb there is a group talking and writing about these old German equestrian manuscripts.
