Gentleman's Stable Guide

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This little book is founded on a reasoned experi ence of many years as a veterinarian. It treats of the construction of private stables for the gentleman, the Club, the farm, the livery, and the railroad; of the care of horses in health, - dietetics, regimen, and hygiene; of carriages and harness, and how to take care of them. All is elucidated in such a way, that no one need plead ignorance as to the duties of grooms and the requirements of the stable, - the quantity and quality of food the horse requires, and how to prepare it, together with the effects which may be expected.
