DEDICATION. 



To His Excellency, ULYSSES S. GRANT, President of the 

 United States ; to the members of the two houses of Con- 

 gress, and to the gentlemen connected with Foreign Lega- 

 tions, who have belonged to my private classes, in connection 

 with the thousands jn all the principal cities and towns of 

 the United States and Canada, who have been members of 

 my various classes, this work on THE EDUCATION OF THE 

 HORSE, is respectfully dedicated. Cheered by their pres- 

 ence, and encouraged by their approbation during the eight 

 years in which the author has been engaged in diffusing a 

 knowledge, of his system of Equine Education, their gener- 

 ous appreciation continues to fill the present with treasured 

 memories of the past, amongst the most prized of which is 

 that of the friendship it has been his happiness to secure 

 from gentlemen distinguished alike in the walks of politics, 

 religion, science, literature and art.
