Publisher Description:
"The Working Horse" is a fantastic guide to the horses of the British Isles as used for sport and work, including a wealth of equestrian knowledge on such subjects as breeding, breaking, ailments, history, and much more. Profusely illustrated with photographs and diagrams, this timeless volume is not to be missed by horse lovers and owners alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Horse-Breeding in the British Isles", "Heavy Draught-Horses: The Shire, The Clydesdale, and the Suffolk", "Park Hacks and Carriage Horses", "A Veterinary Vade-Mecum", "The Conformation of the Horse", "Principles of Shoeing", "Diseases and Injuries of the Feet of the Horse", "How to Tell a Horse's Age", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the care and maintenance of horses.
