Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Horse and Dog, Not as They Are, but as They Should Be: Old and Erroneous Theories Relative to the Management of the Horse Brought Face to Face With the Facts of the Nineteenth Century
The Horse is the noblest animal we have. He assists us the pursuits of life, guides the peaceful plow, and rushes into battle 'mid the roaring of cannon and the clashing of musketry. He is man's humble and obedient servant when properly trained and educated. While he is the most serviceable and useful, he is the most abused of any domestic animal, as the statistics of the societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals will proye. In the most of cases, the abuses that are practiced upon him arise from the fact that his natural laws and habits are not thoroughly understood by his manager.
