For breeders, racing men, antiquarians, naturalists, and big-game hunters ought all to find something of interest. It should be emphasised that only the natural aspect of the subject is dealt with, such side-issues as the legendary history of the horse, horse-sacrifice, the acquisition and development of the art of riding and driving, the training and management of horses, being left untouched. Several difficult and debatable points are purposely left undecided, as I have preferred to quote the various opinions expressed by different writers, rather than to assert my own views.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin and History of the Horse The first meeting of the season was held at the Metropolitan Club on Tuesday evening, December 19, 1905, the President, Mr. Barnes, presiding. After dinner the President introduced Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, who delivered the following address: "Origin and History Of the Horse." Prof, Osborn - It is unnecessary to say in this presence that the horse is the noblest of the domesticated animals and has been to man the most useful of all the domesticated animals, not barring the cow. In support of this statement you must recall the fact that in certain parts of Asia there are no cattle, and that the people subsist entirely and have subsisted for hundreds if not thousands of years upon the products of the horse, including the milk of the mare, which of course is prepared in the form of kumyss. Just a few words of introduction to the history of the horse, which is our subject. It is very largely connected with the explorations which we have conducted from the American Museum of Natural History, which began in the year 1891. In 1889 we made in Northeastern Texas the rather remarkable discovery of a considerable number of skeletons of the horse reared in America, that is, of the original North American horse, which became extinct not only before the discovery of the country by the Spaniards, but long before that time. There are no traces of the horse in the Aztec history of Mexico, or in the knowledge of any of the South American peoples, or even in the myths of the American Indian. The animal therefore became entirely extinct in this country, all assertions to the contrary being unfounded. Our discovery was of five or six of the original American horses, which had previously only been known by portions of the skeletons, and it put into my mind the possibility of a series of explorations which should be especially directed to the subject of the history of the horse in America, a subject in which we may feel considerable national pride, because it is highly probable, although not yet absolutely demonstrated, that the direct ancestors of this noble animal came from America before the race became extinct, and that the horse is therefore one of the gifts of America to the world.

Download or read book The Horse written by Henry Fairfield Osborn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse: Past and Present In 1891 the American Museum began its long series of explorations and studies upon the evolution of the horse. It now contains the most complete collection of fossil horses in the world; also a very remarkable collection of mounted skeletons and models of modern horses, including both wild and domestic breeds. The ancestry of the horse has been traced back through successive stages represented by fossil skeletons to small progenitors with four toes on the fore feet and three on the hind feet, with short-crowned, simple teeth and small brain, but always possessed of great relative speed. What may be called the fossil breeds are found to be specialized as are modern breeds into exceedingly swift running as well as into slow moving types, into giant horses exceeding the very largest existing percherons, and into diminutive horses smaller even than the most diminutive shetland. The comparison of fossil and living types is therefore most interesting and instructive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse: A Study in Natural History The works to be comprised in this Series are in tended to give on each subject the information which an intelligent layman might wish to possess. They are not primarily intended for the young, nor for the specialist, though even to him they will doubtless be often useful in supplying references, or suggesting lines of research. Each book will be complete in itself, care, however, being taken that while the books do not overlap, they supplement each other; and while scientific in treat ment, they will be, as far as possible, presented in simple language, divested of needless technicalities. The rapid progress of science has made it more and more difficult, and renders it now quite impossible, to master the works which appear, almost daily, on various branches of science, or to keep up with the proceedings of our numerous Scientific Societies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse and Dog, Not as They Are, but as They Should Be: Old and Erroneous Theories Relative to the Management of the Horse Brought Face to Face With the Facts of the Nineteenth Century The Horse is the noblest animal we have. He assists us the pursuits of life, guides the peaceful plow, and rushes into battle 'mid the roaring of cannon and the clashing of musketry. He is man's humble and obedient servant when properly trained and educated. While he is the most serviceable and useful, he is the most abused of any domestic animal, as the statistics of the societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals will proye. In the most of cases, the abuses that are practiced upon him arise from the fact that his natural laws and habits are not thoroughly understood by his manager.
