Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse in the Stables and the Field, Vol. 1 of 2: His Varieties Management in Health and Disease Anatomy, Physiology, Etc The demand for another edition of this work has afforded the opportunity for a careful revision. This, however, has taken the shape of addition rather than alteration, save in a few instances where the discoveries of the last decade have added materially to our scientific knowledge. The art of equitation and the general management of horses "in the stable and the field" have not undergone any great change since the talented author gave to the world the present treatise, one of the best and most complete, suitable for the private owner. His admirable style has suffered as little as possible at my hands, the original text being retained, save where alteration was clearly desirable. The most generous assistance has been accorded by many well-known authorities, a list of whom will be found elsewhere. The chapter dealing with Arab horses is contributed by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, Esq., and the Hon. Miss Dillon, and extends to several pages. The importance of Eastern blood having been so much insisted on by the author, it seemed consistent with the original character of the work to incorporate the experience of two such acknowledged authorities on Arab horses, bred in this country for several generations. The description of the Clydesdale is from the pen of Lord Arthur Cecil; and, with Sir Walter Gilbey's kind permission, I have drawn largely on his War Horse or Shire Horse for an account of that useful animal. Captain Smyth, V.C., of the Queen's Bays, contributed the portrait of a Dervish charger, and Slatin Pasha, of the Intelligence Department, the matter referring to horses of the Sudan generally.
