Interested in Roman Riding?

[jvrjenivs]

Bit nervous about posting questions...I've already had one discussion about sizes of horses :? D
For example I disagree with Ann Hyland's comments about Hunnish horses hock: ! But then again, I'm prejudiced against Arab horses who may have admirable stamina, but they can be too intelligent and very tricky to handle.
...and I'm coming at this as a an equestrian who is a historian as opposed to a historian with an interest in cavalry (that's why horses first)...

First, I would say you don't have to be nervous about posting on here. As long as you keep your voice nice, I'm in the impression there is much room on RAT to discuss different views. I surely wouldn't like if the fear of bringing an controversial view would hestitate you to post it. And about Ann Hyland, I can only second that there are (in my view) indeed some 'mistakes', but she also has good stuff, of course, as I think is with every writing. Always make up your own mind! (but try also to see otherones view of course).
And about your point of historians. Make sure that there also are enough people on RAT of whom history isn't their (primairy) field, at all.
