" I have aimed in this Work TO MAKE PRACTICE THE MASTER OF THEOR Y, and have 

 endeavored to arrange the whole subject into divisions which will render every part of it 

 taei.li/ understood, and easily referred to by every one." Author's Preface. 



" The Horse has been a favorite study with me from childhood, and for twenty years I 

 have been more or less engaged in breeding and rearing them, on my own farm, and break- 

 ing and fitting them for market. I also had, during a residence of two years in Europe, the 

 advantage of Studying the Stable Economy of large Military Establishments, and to inform 

 myself by personal inspection on the subject of the Horse in general, and particularly hi 

 rearing and stable treatment, and in so doing examined alike the Thorough Bred, the Hun- 

 ter, the Roadster, the Farm and the Dray Horse. A. B. ALLEN." American Editor. 



The Horse's Foot, and How to keep it Sound.
