Opis: Horse Buying and Management - Fawcus Henry E.

Excerpt from Horse Buying and Management: A Handbook for the Use of Amateurs

The unsatisfactory condition which obtains in most cases where the purchase of a horse is contemplated - viz., the necessity of relying upon the advice of one's coachman or groom, or upon that of some other person, very possibly incompetent, and frequently not disinterested - suggests that a work which aims at enabling the amateur to buy his own horse, by instructing him what to look out for and what to avoid, would be really acceptable to a very wide public, and save many a man the annoyance of paying a long price for an inferior animal.

The usual defects and weaknesses that horseflesh is heir to are carefully enumerated in this little book, and the reader is clearly taught where to look for them and how to detect them. In addition to this negative protection, the intending purchaser is shown what points he should particularly look for, according to the use to which the horse is to be put; and general directions are given for his guidance in deciding whether to buy or reject an animal that may appear to be a suitable one for his purposes.

Practical hints and instruction on the proper management of the horse, in order to keep him in good health and working condition, complete a work which should prove of great assistance to the amateur horse - owner in the difficulties with which he has to contend.

It is not within the scheme of this book to deal with diseases, but if such information be required, it will be found in Dalziel's "Diseases of Horses: Their Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment" (ls.), issued by the publisher of this little work.
