The Thinking Horseman

Education & Reference Sport & Recreation Australiana

The Thinking Horseman by Maurice Wright is a thoughtful non‑fiction work that explores the world of horses, equestrian sport and Australian riding culture. Blending history, biography and practical insight, it offers readers a warm look at the relationship between people and their horses, making it appealing to both young adults and adult enthusiasts.

Wright’s narrative weaves together stories of Australian horse riding, the heritage of equestrian sports and the broader social backdrop of the 20th‑century outback. The book serves as both a reference and a leisurely read for anyone interested in animals, sports history or Australian heritage.

First published in 1983, this 133‑page hardcover comes with its original dust jacket, preserving the vintage charm of the 1980s edition. The binding remains tight and the pages are tidy, free of writing, dog‑ears or other marks.

The only blemish is a missing front blank sheet, which has been removed; otherwise the book is in clean, smoke‑free condition and ready for a new home.
