| Publisher Description: This old text comprises a practical treatise on the American horse breeding industry as allied to the farm. A fascinating insight into the horse breeding industry of America in the early twentieth century, this text will greatly appeal to discerning equestrians and makes for a worthy addition to antiquarian equine literature. The chapters of this text contain: 'Origin of the Horse', 'Heredity as a Force', 'The Stallion - Desirable Points and Faults', 'Embryology - Impregnation - Conception', 'Management of the Stallion', 'Management of Brood Mares and Foals', 'Fitting for Sale - Market Classes - Trade Terms', 'Fitting for Show and Showing', etcetera. This text was first published in 1912, and we are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction on the breeding and anatomy of horses. |
