Excerpt from The Pocket and the Stud: Or Practical Hints on the Management of the Stable
As Author of the present little work, I cannot but feel much gratified, that, after so monster an Edition was struck, a second should so soon be requisite. My first published Book was stable-talk and table-talk, a miscellaneous work, in two large octavo volumes. These are a general compila tion, touching Racing, Hunting, Riding, Driving, and most subjects connected with field sports; and, further including the purchasing of Horses, and the breaking and subsequent management of them.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers advice for purchasing and caring for horses. The author was forced to learn these principles due to a series of unfortunate life events that thrust him into the business of trading and training horses. He laments the number of books which merely document equestrian history when so many practical manuals for horse care have gone unwritten. This book aims to address this disparity. The author assumes readers have a general interest in horses but may not have practical knowledge of buying and caring for them. Drawing from his own experiences, the author discusses topics such as selecting a horse for a particular purpose, determining the value of a horse, investigating the advantages and disadvantages of different types of equine businesses, and how to establish a stable and care for horses therein. The author believes his insights stem from hands-on experience and observation rather than academic knowledge. He encourages readers to rely on the advice of experts they trust rather than attempting to navigate the horse world on their own. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332027774_0
