This is the first part of J. Prince-Sheldon's "Live Stock in Health and Disease," a definitive guide to livestock keeping which deals with the breeding and management of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry. It also contains chapters on dairy farming, as well as a section on related veterinary subjects. This instalment focuses on horses, exploring their different types and origins. This profusely-illustrated handbook will be of considerable utility to farmers and equestrians interested in breeding and riding horses for sport or pleasure. Contents include: "Horse-Breeding in the British Isles," "Breeding, Breaking and Training Light Horses," "Oriental Blood-Horses: Arabs, Barbs, Persians, Dongolas, Turcomans," "The Origin of the Modern British Horse," "History of the English Broodmare," "The Modern Brood-Horse," etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the care and management of horses.
