Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Percheron Horse LL my life I had taken a practical interest in the draft-horse, so that during a number of years' residence in France, terminating in 1865, I was not entirely unprepared to realize that in that country was to be found still, where it had existed for centuries, a race of this noble animal which possessed the requisite combination of qualities to render it the most perfect draft-horse in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Island Home Stud of Percheron Horses: Island Home Stock Farm, Grosse Ile, Wayne Co., Mich The exhibition of the American Percheron Horse Breeders' Association, held in Chicago in September last, was the crowning act in the drama, and, with former and corroborating evidence, placed Percherons so far in advance of all other draft horses that sensible men will have no further doubts regarding their merits, and the propriety of breeding to horses whose pedigrees are established by the records of the Percheron Stud Books of France and America. The show itself was greatly superior to anything ever attempted in this or the old country, so much so that Marquis de la Motte Rouge, Inspector General of the National Studs of France, appointed by the French government to act as a member of the jury of awards, remarked that France itself could not, at the present time, offer such an exhibit, but added, Give us another year to bring forward another generation of colts, and we will have a Concours worth visiting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse Hay and grain have always been so abundant in America that every farmer could afford to keep at least one horse, however small his holding. The business of all except the older great cities is still largely carried on by men who were reared on the farm and who love the horse. This fact, coupled with cheap maintenance and abundant traffic, has-filled the cities as well as the country districts with horses. Unfortunately, until the twelfth Census was taken, we have had no means of knowing the exact number. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Book of the Horse The Arab, it may not be generally known, has stood still in his own country through out the long period of time during which anything definite has been known about him. He has undoubtedly the same elegant outline, the same beautiful appearance, and the same wonderful stamina for which he has always been noted. But in his native state he is no bigger or heavier than he was when he was first introduced into this country some thing like 300 years ago, and this is probably due to the fact that he is bred in countries which do not possess such land as is to be found in many parts of the United Kingdom. It may be urged that the Arab in his own country does not require the luxuriant grasses upon which English horses are reared, and to some extent that is true; but it may be pointed out that when Arabs, Barbs, and other Eastern sires were brought to this country with a view to improving our native breed, the size quickly increased, even in horses whose blood was almost entirely Eastern. The fact is that England, Ireland, and even parts of Scotland, are eminently suitable for horse - breeding, as are the blue grass plains of Ken tucky, the Percheron district of France, certain parts also of the Northern Coast of France, and many districts of Australia and New Zealand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Stable and Saddle-Room It is for this class of persons - the altogether ignorant, those who know absolutely nothing about horses and stables - that I desire to write, and to impart the information which I consider that the experience of a lifetime spent amongst horses, in cluding many years of service in an English cavalry regiment, coupled with an ever-earnest desire to gather and store up all knowledge regarding the management of the animal I love so well, entitle me to offer for their help and guidance. Every true Englishman loves a horse, even if he knows no more about him than he does about a kangaroo, and but few of our countrymen can gaze on a handsome horse without admiration; and if questioned and answering truthfully regard ing his knowledge of horses, would, if ignorant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Regeneration of the Morgan Horse Of the three types of light horses which American breeders have developed during a century and a quarter, none stands higher in history, judged from the interest and affection which have been devoted to it, none has had a more direct and lasting influence on other types, none, in fact, has been more uniform in type, more prepotent in breeding, or more nearly a fixed breed than the Morgan horse. With an ancestry which must have been Of the highest merit, reared on the limestone and granite hills of New England, imbued with remarkable endurance and stamina by a rigorous but invigor ating climate, these little horses seventy-five years ago yielded to none in popularity and held first place in the actual money value placed on individuals and on the service fees of sires. Fifty years ago Morgan stallions were received in the Show rings of Kentucky with enthusiasm. Yet during the last twenty years the name of Morgan has been anathema among the horse breeders of Kentucky, the breed has been rarely seen in the show ring at state and national fairs, and the live-stock press and many horsemen of authority have declared the Morgan to be an extinct race.
