Excerpt from Through the Stable and Saddle-Room So many books have been written on horses and stable management, that in commencing the present little work I feel that I am but about to traverse ground which has been 'over-trodden' - nay, 'churned up' - by those who have been in the field before me, and that the subject is already too well worn to admit of yet another treatise upon it being produced. I hope, however, that such may prove not to be the case, inasmuch as since it is indisputable that no two people entertain quite the same ideas on any subject, I may be able, I trust, to view the one at present before me, and treat the same, in a somewhat different manner to my predecessors. What has invariably struck me in perusing the many books on horses and their management which have been already before the public, is, as a rule, their want of simplicity. They appear to me to be rather mystifying than instructive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
