Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Breaking and Training Horses The Author has been tempted to write this work because he has often experienced the want of a small yet practical guide dealing with the subject, reliable information being chiefly contained in more expensive manuals. Of course, each Horse-breaker naturally advocates some particular system - which he chooses to call his own - and it is just this egotism that destroys the value of his information, no matter how successfully he may have applied it. In a book of this class it is essential that theory be ready to shake hands with practice, because without this case of demonstration a book on Horsebreaking becomes merely a delusion. The Author leaves himself in the readers' hands to judge whether he has fulfilled his object. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Guide to the Breaking and Training of the Young Horse My object is to instruct my readers as brieﬂy, and as plainly as the subject will admit of, in the best method of training and riding young horses. The horse, by nature, is a gentle and complying creature, and resists rather from fear than obstinacy bearing this in mind, we must always endeavour to assure him, and give him confidence; and therefore, the colt cannot be treated with too much kindness, accompanied by caution and firm ness. The groom can do something to assist the rider in this respect, for much of the horse's training depends upon his treatment in the stable; the person also to whom his train ing is entrusted, should be accustomed to horses, and not one that would be frightened at every start they may make, for many who are not aware of the natural timidity of colts, alarm them by their own fears, in the way they approach them; and as they soon perceive these fears, they will take the earliest advantage of them, by endeavouring to prevent any one from coming near them for, the horse is very sagacious, even when young, and watches every movement about him, and will soon distinguish fear from firmness in his attendant, or rider; therefore he cannot be deceived by assumed boldness, or by angry words but, on the contrary, if you treat him with kindness, and when you touch him, lay the hand on him with firmness, and speak gently to him, he will soon become attached and friendly, which is the first thing you should attempt to secure, since those he is most familiar with and accustomed to, he will be the least alarmed at, and will have the most confidence in. The fewer persons about him the better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I do not think it is claiming too much for my system to say, by its use, any horse may be broken (regardless of his being previously spoiled) so as to make him perfectly docile and even safe for a family horse.

No attempt has been made in any case to improve upon methods already deemed correctly the best horsemen; and as such methods can be found dealing with all points of training, it follows that the subject matter in this book is not original. Where the best was to be found, there it has been sought, and where the authors of previous works have expressed their ideas in language considered the most concise and clear, their words have been copied verbatim, with due acknowledgement to the authors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gleason's Horse Book: The Only Authorized Work by America's King of Horse Tamers; Comprising History, Breeding, Training, Breaking, Buying, Feeding, Grooming, Shoeing, Doctoring, Telling Age, and General Care of the Horse It is certain that at no period in the history of this country has the horse stood so high in general estimation, or by the dis play of his various powers rendered himself an object more worthy of our consideration. As greater attention is now paid to the breeding of horses, for the different purposes of the turf and the road, so should our anxiety for their education increase. The object of this publication is to render as plain and familiar as possible a subject that has for a length of time remained in obscurity. The want of a work advancing practical facts and illustrations has long been severely felt and acknowledged.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Horse: Thorough-Bred, Half-Bred, Cart-Bred, Saddle and Harness, British and Foreign, With Hints on Horsemanship; The Management of the Stable; Breeding, Breaking and Training for the Road, the Park, and the Field This is a New Edition, and something more. The first, issued in monthly parts, was completed in 1875. Ever since, the Author has been engaged in improving and revising it. The subjects have been re-arranged on a plan at once more practical and scientific. All matter of temporary and merely local interest has been cancelled; the object being to make the "Book of the Horse" a work of permanent value. Several chapters have been rewritten the others re-arranged and condensed. In this revision the Author has had the advantage of valuable comnuinications from his readers, not only in this country, but in France, Austria, and Italy, South America, and Australia. He has availed himself of gems of horse lore to be found in the recent works of such travellers as Major Burnaby, Baker Pasha, Mrs. Burton. Paragraphs of interest have been quoted from the letters of the war correspondents of the Times and the Daily News. He has particularly to acknowledge his obligations to the Honourable Francis Lawley for his revision of the chapters on Race-horses and Racing, to Dr. Hurman of the Badminton Club, and Mr. Stewart Freeman of St. Martins Lane, for correcting and adding to the chapter on Four Horse Driving, and the details of Road Coaching. The late Mr. William Cooper, of Stoke Damerel, when judge at the Islington Horse Show, also gave him some valuable hints, and kindly promised to read the proofs of the pages of this edition referring to the subjects of which he was so thoroughly a master. His untimely death took place before the Coaching chapter had been reached. The first chapters contain a history and description of the various breeds of British and Foreign Horses. The succeeding chapters include the following subjects: Horses Of Various Breeds - Information for Purchase of English Horses, i.e., Ponies, Cob.s, Hacks, Harness Steppers - Horsemanship for Children and Adult - Saddles and Bridles - Hints for Amazons The Art of Driving, Including Four-in-hand and Road Coach Expenses - Hunting, in One Hundred Pages, with every Detail, Historical, Biographical, Poetical, Pictorial - Estimate of Expenses of a Carriage and Horses - Stables, Coach-houses, Fodder, and Servant, - Modern Carriages Described - Breeding, Breaking, Training - Shoes and Shoeing -Veterinary Information, By Professor William Pritchard.
