Excerpt from How to Break, Ride and Drive a Horse: Containing a Complete Treatise on the Horse, Describing the Most Useful Horses for Business, and the Best Horses for the Road; Also Giving Instructions in Breaking, Riding and Driving Horses
Eastern blood is a great advantage in most respects. And no doubt when the animal possessing it is sound, he will bear the shocks of the road with impunity; but there is no ques tion in my mind that he fails in the matter of enduring daily concussion on the road, and that a Welsh pony or Norman horse will stand nearly twice the amount of road-work with out showing its - effects. This is the weak point in the breed, partly arising from original want of size in the bone and joints, but chiefly, I imagine, from the constant use of stal lions for inferior stock, which have themselves suffered from inflammation of the legs and its consequences; hence, in process of time, a breed of horses is formed which is more than naturally delicate about the legs, because they have really been selected from that defect, though only from neces sity, and not from choice.
My reason for thinking that the Arab blood is not usees sarily inclined to produce inflammatory joints is, that in their native country they are peculiarly free from them, although used for long distances, and that in this country those which are bred from modern Arabs are sound in their limbs, though otherwise unfit for the purpose for which they were bred. Safeguard, who is descended from the Wellesley Grey Ara bian, has got most of his stock with particularly wiry legs; and I have had one of them which would stand any amount of battering without mischief, besides knowing others of the same character in other hands.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the art and science of horsemanship, focusing specifically on the selection, training, and riding of horses used for everyday riding, known as "hacks." The author, writing in a time when horse-drawn transportation was still prevalent, provides a comprehensive guide for aspiring equestrians, blending practical advice with insightful observations on the nature of the horse. The book explores the different types of hacks, emphasizing the distinction between those suitable for leisurely park rides and those capable of enduring long journeys on the road. The author challenges the prevailing notion that a horse's suitability can be determined solely by its appearance, advocating for rigorous testing and careful observation of a horse's movement and temperament. He also discusses the importance of sound feet and a horse's ability to walk, trot, and gallop smoothly and safely, underscoring the need for a secure and comfortable seat. The author delves into the various vices that horses may exhibit, such as stumbling, rearing, and shying, offering practical advice on how to manage and potentially correct these behaviors. He also explores the intricacies of riding techniques, from mounting and dismounting to the proper management of reins and the different types of paces. The book's rich detail and thoughtful analysis provide a unique window into the world of horsemanship and its enduring significance in a bygone era.
