This is the most complete book of horse information I have ever come accross. It stores the secrets to the most complex of the horse issues, horse training and understanding. It's very clear with it's explanations and very efficient in practice. Although the book originally printed in 1895, it's still very much up to date with it's information. It opens one's eyes to the mythical creature the horse is.

Excellent book for the true horseman. Very good, sound advise on issues related to health and lameness....very good, basic, remedies.

This is a comprehensive work on horses which includes training,

testing, the halter, blinding, feeding, classic diseases and

treatments. The author explains how to train the mouth with a bit.

Strap holding techniques are described together with strategies

to manipulate the horse safely. The volume describes how to cook

crushed grain for optimal feeding purposes. Even the evolution of

horse teeth is explained. For instance, teeth mature up to the

sixth year where shortened teeth evolve. The book is well worth

the price for horse enthusiasts and persons charged with caring

for horses on an ongoing basis.
