Seller's Description:
New. 1585741477. Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. Originally published in 1859. Illustrated with b/w drawings. This book "offers a vivid historical portrait of horse-keeping prior to the American Civil War, though much of it is still relevant and useful to today's breeders and stablemen". Really neat book for those interested in the history of horses, their uses and care. While the nature of the horse is the same as when this book was first written, there have been big changes in technology, riding theory, veterinary and farrier practice and supplies. Interesting to compare the similarities and the differences.; B&W Illustrations; 4 1/2 x 7 1/2; 425 pages; .
