Originally published in 1897, "This little work is intended as a
guide to those who have to do with horses, either as owners,
purchasers, breeders, trainers, managers, or attendants, and whose
experience has not been so extensive as those on whose knowledge it
is based. There is no pretence whatever to novelty in any of the
subjects treated; but it is to be hoped that such absence of
novelty will not detract from utility, and that the hints contained
in its pages may be found of service, and assist those who are
interested in horses and horse management when they require
assistance." Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork. Contents Include: Breeds of Horses -
Purchasing Horses at Fairs - The Paddock, Straw-Yard, Stable and
