I would be delighted to get my hands on them even just for a once over read - chance in a lifetime! :) Diane, I have not found any reference to copies of these manuals surfacing for the public.

I love the diagram, as I read on a site once a long time ago, you can tell the balance and level of collection of a horse by drawing a line from the point of hip to bit, and if the line slants downwards the horse is downhill or on the forehand. I could never find the site again and this diagram is exactly what I've been looking for! :) Although I'm not sure if it applies as much to horses with downhill conformation. Very nice article!
