Excerpt from Management and Breeding of Horses This book is an attempt at arranging information useful to the farmer, breeder and student. It is the outgrowth of experience both as a practical horse breeder and an instructor. The book includes a discussion of the economic usefulness, judging and allied subjects, early history, a study of the breeds, breeding, feeding, care and management of both horses and mules. Special emphasis is placed on the management of the brood mare as well as that of the colt from the time the mare is bred until the colt is ready for farm work or the market. This includes a discussion of the methods of training, overcoming undesirable habits, fitting, harnessing and the like. Because of the increasing popularity and field of usefulness, the mule is given prominence. This necessitates a consideration of the several breeds of jacks, as well as special suggestions on the care and development of the mule-breeding jack, as not all jacks are suitable for siring mules. In choosing the subject matter a wide search has been made and it has been necessary to eliminate much valuable data, as there is quite an accumulation of material upon the production, care and use of the horse. In this elimination, the author has attempted to keep in mind the needs of the farmer, breeder and student. The arrangement of the subject matter in a book of this class is important. The outline employed has been chosen because in experience it seems the most favorable for the presentation of the text. Following a discussion of judging considerable space is given to the history and development of the several breeds of horses, each breed being discussed in a separate chapter.

Excerpt from The Horse: Its Keep Management There is a chapter on breeding - stating how many valuable mares are practically lost when they get to a certain age, or, in other words, how many good mares are sold for a trifle, which, with very little trouble and forethought, might be sent to some farmer in the country and bred from. This can easily be done. In some instances a colt can be reared for from £35 to £40 up to when it is four years old, and if from an extraordinarily good mare it sometimes turns out worth from £70 to £100.

Excerpt from An Essay on the Breeding and Management of Draught Horses With the exception of such Essays as have from time to time been written for Agricultural and other Societies whose objects are essentially devoted to the breeding and rearing of animals as products of husbandry, the Author is not aware that any work upon the general management of draught horses with especial reference to their use in cities and towns has been published.

Excerpt from The Horse, Its Treatment in Health and Disease, Vol. 2: With a Complete Guide to Breeding, Training and Management The Hackney Pony. - The Hackney pony, now unquestionably an established breed, is a most valuable little animal, not only on account of his intrinsic merits, but because of the great success which usually attends the crossing of him with the mares of other pony breeds. As a variety but little need be said of him here, since in character and make-up he is simply a pocket edition of the ordinary Hackney, which by judicious selection has been bred down to the desired height by pony lovers, who have wanted to possess an animal of about 14 hands which will excel in action and possess all the good looks of the larger members of the breed. Fith the possible exception of the Wilson ponies - which have had more judicious care expended upon them for a longer period, and which owe by far the largest proportion of their excellence to the strong dash of Hackney blood which is inbred in their veins through Sir George - the Hackney ponies are the most valuable and generally high-priced of all the varieties of equine bantams, and for harness purposes, in cases where high action is desired, there are no animals of their inches which can approach them in style, symmetry, and action. Consequently it is not surprising to find their numbers increasing on all sides. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
