Book excerpt: Excerpt from Riding and Driving Horses: Their Breeding and Rearing The Chair was taken by Mr. William Eve, the President of the Farmer's Club. There was a large attendance of Members and Visitors present. Mr. Walter Gilbey, of Elsenham Hall, Elsenham, Essex, introduced the subject as follows: - For many years the subjects dealt with in this Address have interested me deeply. Twelve months ago I made application to Mr. Druce, the Secretary of this Club, to be allowed to call attention to them, but was unfortunately too late, all arrangements for 1884 having been then made. Very many causes have been assigned for the decline of horse-breeding. It will be noticed that I accept one only, to wit, the failure in persevering to raise animals of size, quality, and value. The principal object which I have in view, therefore, is to make our shortcomings in this respect more generally known, and to offer suggestions for breeding superior horses, as these latter will always command a ready sale at prices remunerative to the breeder. It is an admitted fact that the true-bred English hunter, hack, carriage and draught horse cannot be equalled in any other country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Break, Ride and Drive a Horse: Containing a Complete Treatise on the Horse, Describing the Most Useful Horses for Business, and the Best Horses for the Road; Also Giving Instructions in Breaking, Riding and Driving Horses Eastern blood is a great advantage in most respects. And no doubt when the animal possessing it is sound, he will bear the shocks of the road with impunity; but there is no ques tion in my mind that he fails in the matter of enduring daily concussion on the road, and that a Welsh pony or Norman horse will stand nearly twice the amount of road-work with out showing its - effects. This is the weak point in the breed, partly arising from original want of size in the bone and joints, but chiefly, I imagine, from the constant use of stal lions for inferior stock, which have themselves suffered from inflammation of the legs and its consequences; hence, in process of time, a breed of horses is formed which is more than naturally delicate about the legs, because they have really been selected from that defect, though only from neces sity, and not from choice. My reason for thinking that the Arab blood is not usees sarily inclined to produce inflammatory joints is, that in their native country they are peculiarly free from them, although used for long distances, and that in this country those which are bred from modern Arabs are sound in their limbs, though otherwise unfit for the purpose for which they were bred. Safeguard, who is descended from the Wellesley Grey Ara bian, has got most of his stock with particularly wiry legs; and I have had one of them which would stand any amount of battering without mischief, besides knowing others of the same character in other hands.
