Excerpt from Our Friend the Horse: A Complete Practical Guide to All That Is Known About Every Breed of Horse in the World
The Author, in presenting this work to his readers, has endeavoured to place the information contained herein, in a clear, brief, and systematic style, so that the Manual may be found a useful guide to the breeders, owners, and others interested in matters pertaining to the Horse, either for pleasure or profit.
An important section of the work is that devoted to the various breeds, especially those varieties which more immediately concern his fellow-countrymen, whilst the importance of foreign breeds has not altogether been overlooked.
It is a well-known fact that the care given to a horse, whatever be its particular service to man, is a most important factor in determining its subsequent utility, and it is with this aim that the writer has been induced to give the more important facts relating to foods, feeding, and stable management in general.
The most important diseases and accidents incidental to the Horse have been arranged alphabetically, so that the demands for urgent reference, when needed, may be satisfied.
To conclude, the Publishers and Author alike, in launching forth Our Friend the Horse, trust that the subject of the book will ever continue to bear out the significance of the title.
