This classic guide to horse husbandry, first published in 1914, features every topic of interest to those who own or use horses for practical purposes or pleasure.  Published at a time when horses were regarded as an industry, it emphasizes methods to increase equine productivity.  As a matter of fact, it was originally written as a textbook for the student of agriculture in a less mechanized era, complete with review questions at the end of each chapter.  Today’s reader will enjoy the well-illustrated historical depiction of the horse as a machine before the imminent arrival of Henry Ford and his horseless carriage.
