Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Small Horses in Warfare The universal Opinion of residents in South Africa is against the introduction of imported horses for general work, inasmuch as they cannot withstand the climate, hard living, bad roads and rough usage which make up the conditions of a horse's life in the Colony. In past years, before the present war, large numbers of English horses have been sent to Natal for military service, but the results were not satisfactory; all became useless, and the large majority died; the change from English stables and English methods of management to those in vogue in the Colony almost invariably proved fatal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Small Horses in Warfare The present seems an appropriate time to put forward a few facts which go to prove the peculiar suitability of small horses for certain campaigning work which demands staying power, hardiness and independence of high feeding. The circumstance that the military authorities have been obliged to look to foreign countries for supplies of such horses for the war in South Africa has suggested the propriety of pointing out that we possess in England foundation stock from which we may be able to raise a breed of small horses equal to, or better than, any we are now obliged to procure abroad.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from England's Horses for Peace and War: Their Origin, Improvement and Scarcity When a man finds himself, from any reason, the exponent of an honest and meritorious cause, he need not be choice of words, nor punctilious of demeanour in urging it. Nevertheless, the Author feels all the difficulties that beset this his present effort in its handling. Fearful that enthusiasm in his task might engender a style bordering upon the didactic (so offensive to most readers on equine subjects), and, apprehensive that a less vigorous style of writing might suggest weakness, he has thrown to the winds everything like anticipation of what would be thought of his production in any sense but that of practical utility. And, with this slight explanation, he respectfully and earnestly commends the common sense wisdom of the principles he advocates and upholds to the Nation, at a specially exigent period, for its consideration.
