THIS is a practical work which every horse owner should 

 have. The author is well known as the manager of the 

 American Horse Exchange, New York, and has been identi- 

 fied with the leading horse-show organizations throughout 

 the country. The chapters epitomize thirty years' active, 

 personal experience with every kind of a horse for every 

 conceivable purpose, and the deductions are drawn in no 

 sense theoretical.
