The Book Of The Horse, Classic Edition Hardcover by Samuel Sidney

Originally published in the 1880s as “The Book of the (Thoroughbred, Half-bred, Cart-bred), Saddle and Harness, British and Foreign” it is still considered a classic. this rare and valuable work I sought and consulted for the range, quality, and quantity of its woodcut illustrations, and for the integrity and scope of its text. Until now, only a few could enjoy and refer to this treasure from yesteryear which fully describes a multitude of breeds, gives the origin and history of the English horse, and thoroughly covers horsemanship, equipage, lunging, training, breeding, and care of the horse. Now virtually every feature and word of the ultimate third editions, including its illustrated and decorated binding, has been faithfully reproduced for the current generation of horse enthusiasts.
