| Publisher Description: This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to breeding a variety of farm animals, including horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and poultry. It focuses mainly on the breeding and breaking of horses, with historical information as well as chapters on veterinarian aspects and more. Although old, it contains a wealth of timeless information that will be of considerable use to farmers and breeders alike. Not to be missed by collectors of vintage equestrian literature. Contents include: "Horse-Breeding in the British Isles", "Breeding, Breaking, and Training Light Horses", "Oriental Blood-Horses: Arabs, Barbs, Persians, Dongolas, Turcomans", "History of the English Blood-Horse", "The Modern Blood-Horse", "Hackneys, Cleveland Bays, and Yorkshire Coach-Horses", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on horse breeding and anatomy. |
