Our Friend the Horse

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. An important section of the work is that devoted to the various breeds, especially those varieties which more immediately concern his fellow-countrymen, whilst the importance of foreign breeds has not altogether been overlooked. It is a well-known fact that the care given to a horse, whatever be its particular service to man, is a most import ant factor in determining its subsequent utility, and it is with this aim that the writer has been induced to give the more important facts relating to foods, feeding, and stable management in general.
