Captain J E Hance
Captain John Edward Hance taught riding both in the Army and in civilian life.  He was best known for his non fiction instructional texts, but also wrote a book aimed at younger readers in which instruction is clothed by a story.

Finding the book:  reasonably easy to find, both with and without its dustjacket.

the right background to the practical instruction.....”
