Excerpt from The ABC of the Horse: How to Buy, How to Tell Age, Management, Fraudulent Practices, Ailments, Treatment, Etc., Etc The little book, which now makes its bow to the public, has not any pretentious aims. It is not intended as a competitor with the large and serious works which have of late years placed such a fund of valuable information at the disposal of the lover of the equine race. T lze ABC of Me Home merely seeks to render a little help to the man who keeps one, or, it may be two horses for pleasure, and who whilst desirous for the well-being of his animals, has not the time, or perhaps the inclination, to wade through a large and technical volume. I do not for one moment profess to say anything new in the book, but merely to give the owner an opportunity of learning sufficient to prevent a display of ignorance in the presence of the groom he employs, the dealer he may be buying from.
