The work is characterized by its didactic style, blending anecdotal narratives with technical expertise, making it accessible to both novice riders and seasoned equestrians. The author draws from historical precedents and contemporary techniques, situating the text within the broader context of 18th-century literature that sought to elevate horsemanship from a mere practical skill to an esteemed art form. The anonymity of the author adds an intriguing layer to the text, evoking the tradition of equestrian literature that often transcended individual authorship in favor of communal knowledge-sharing.
