DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Horse Raising in Colonial New England Horses were used on the sugar plantations to turn the rollers of the cane-crushing mills, to haul the cane from the fields, and to transport sugar and supplies. They were in demand for saddle purposes also. As far as New England was concerned, there is ample evidence that the exportation of horses to supply this need of the sugar islands formed a very important part of the commerce which was carried on between the two groups of British colonies in the New World, and that it was equally important in the trade which grew up between New England and the French West Indies when these islands also began the cultiva tion of sugar. The observations of contemporary writers, the reports of the various colonial governors to the Board of Trade in London, port records and various commercial statistics of the period which have been made available by modern research, and many other scattered sources of information, indicate that this was the case.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Successful Type of Horse That May Be Profitably Raised by New England Farmers Our thoroughbreds which have come from the Arab stock have within the last one hundred and fifty years been raised from an average height of 14 - 2 hands to fully 15 - 3 and 16 hands. This has been brought about by careful, systematic and generous feeding of the youngsters, and it is a fact that many of the training stables to - day feed their two-year-olds twelve to fifteen quarts a day. It cannot be said that the New England farmer is the only one that has had the one point in view, namely, that of speed. Throughout the Whole United States this has been the only point sought for in trotters for years; and this is naturally so, because it is speed that brought the money and won the money. Cicero J. Hamlin, years ago, was criticised on all sides for purchasing Mambrino King, the so-called dude horse, in Kentucky, on account of his good looks. All those who had the pleasure of attending the Madison Square Garden show of 1893 - 94 remember the handsome chestnut stallion, as he was led down the side line of the ring, with simply a nose band in the hands of his colored attendant. The attention of the vast audience was perhaps equally divided between Mambrino King and Prescott Lawrence's celebrated hackney stallion Fashion.

As to the illustrations contained herein, I have endeavored to give the true likeness of a few of the most noted horses mentioned, and that of myself, the author, thinking that these may be both interesting and instructive to my readers; but have refrained from filling up the book with illustrations for aign to the object of the work for the sake of making an unnecessarily large and high-priced book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Horse-Breeding in England and India: And Army Horses Abroad For fifty years endeavours have been made to establish a better system of horse-breeding in England; but nevertheless we are farther than ever from being independent of foreign countries; and horses for military purposes are those which we most lack. The brief account of the Continental stud establishments given in the following pages shows how fully foreign peoples realise the importance of encouraging horse-breeding, and the value they set on English breeding-stock. Without wishing to see the Continental system of horse-breeding by Government adopted in England, we in this country may perhaps profitably study foreign methods, to the advantage of our private studs.
