About This Book

A practical manual by an experienced cavalry officer offering concise, non-technical guidance on selecting and breeding stock, stabling, grooming, feeding, watering, training, exercise, tack, riding, driving, and shoeing. The first section focuses on daily management, gear, and preparing horses for various kinds of work; the second treats common diseases, basic operations, and simple remedies. Guidance emphasizes observation, humane treatment, sensible feeding and equipment choices, and empowering owners to oversee care rather than rely unquestioningly on farriers or grooms.
