Excerpt from Comments on Hacks and Hunters
So many countless books have been written on the subject of horses that in adding another volume to that already prodigious list, it seems as if an apology, or at least an explanation, were due my readers.
Confession is good for the soul, and possibly it is as well to admit, first as last, that the very human instinct "to create," to follow Carlyle's advice when he said: "Produce, Produce - Though it be but the merest fraction of a fragment - Produce it" - is very largely responsible for this book's existence.
That is not all. That alone would scarcely be ample justification. Added to this the authoress also hopes that she will, perhaps, be able to fill a long-felt need among the horse lovers of America. The majority of books obtainable on the subject of the handling of high-class horses are English works, and in England the conditions of hunting and showing are so different, that the advice given can, as a general rule, be of assistance only to the expert capable of applying it to fit American conditions.
Those thinking to find in this volume any new or startling facts, anything original, will be disappointed.
