I'RHIACE 



to Barton's '* Elementary Veterinary Manual for Horse Owners " 

 (Everett & Co., los. 6d. nett) ; also the " Age of the Horse, 

 etc.," and " Sound and Unsound Horses," published by Messrs. 

 Everett. 



Most of the photographs have been taken specially for this 

 work by Mr. Parsons (specialist in animal photography), 

 of Alsager, Cheshire, and those who find fault with the 

 pictorial portion of the book must indeed be hard to please. 



No words of the author can express his deep sense of 

 gratitude to Mr. Parsons, to (^,aptain Gordon Mackenzie, and 

 to Colonel Henriques, to Messrs. Jones and Sons, of Dinart 

 Hall, Colwyn Bay, to Mr. Stericker, of Pickering, and to others 

 who have been kind enough to lend their aid either by photo- 

 graphs or articles. 



1906.
