PREFACE AND CONTENTS 



Tlu" tonii "hoist" sonso" is pro\crhi:il. It is now uni\ crsally 

 acknowledjicd ami rcconitncnclocl. 1 h:ur, tor ;i lonu time, w ishcd 

 to w rite somothin<: tor the hetternient ot hnite i.M"e:itioi\ aiul the 

 eiiiaiuipation ot the animal kin;j;ilom. To me, out of the depths 

 ot compassion, has eome a wild cry tor the amehoration ot the 

 earthly condition of domestic animals oppressed. 



At last, like an inspiration, Princess Trixie has come to me as 

 a revelation, and her worils will he as a hencihction to those of 

 her world. 



Humanity will bless her memory and all her brother animals 

 will praise her according; to their power of understandini^. 



Princess Trixie has a larj^cr development ot "horse sense" than 

 any anin^il I have ever known. I have seen jim Key and the 

 Hahn's horse of Berlin, and 1 w ish to say that they are certainly 

 marvels of equine intelli;;ence. 'riiey haxc done a ;j:reat deal to 

 relieve the hardships and sutiteriniis of their race. 1 ha\e often 

 thout:;ht that they knew more than some teachers and trainers. 



Princess Trixie matriculateil in the school of experience ami 

 j^raduatcd in Nature's broad coUej^e of universal knowledj^c. Be- 

 yond cavil she is the smartest and best educated horse in the world 

 today. She speaks a various lan^uaj:;c, and makes herself xuider- 

 stood perfectly by signs, looks, utterances and actions. She is the 

 most gifteil and talenteil actress before the public, and has won 

 her laurels by ileser\injj; them. 



She is the coiuiectinjj; link in the interchanjze of knowledjje 

 between the Inunan faiuily ami brute creation. She has a lifjht 

 and iMiderstanding that is miraculous, '["he humaiu'tarian will 

 praise her i:;low inii;l\ , while ever\- animal that has the >:;ift of 

 understamlinij: will hoKl her in ijrateful remembrance. 



The follow ing is a true autobio_>;raph\ and history of Princess 

 Trixie.
