Education & Reference Sport & Recreation Australiana
The Thinking Horseman by Maurice Wright, first published in 1983, is a nonfiction work that blends Australian history, equestrian sport and animal biography for both young adult and adult readers. This 133‑page hardcover explores horse riding and equestrian culture in Australia, making it a useful reference for enthusiasts and educators alike.
The book comes with its original dust jacket, which shows typical wear for its age, including some chipping, small tears and general surface wear. The pages are clean overall, though a few exhibit minor edge foxing that does not affect readability.
An inscription appears on the front inner cover, accompanied by a stamp and pen writing, adding a personal touch to the volume. The book has been kept in a smoke‑free home, contributing to its overall good condition.
Ideal for collectors of vintage Australian sports literature or anyone interested in horses and their role in Australian history, this edition offers a warm, informative look at a unique subject.
