VI DEDICATION. 



ment of this noble creature, justly entitle you 

 to this estimable distinction ; and I trust your 

 Lordship will find reason to approve the 

 humble effort I have made to elucidate the 

 science of horsemanship, and to reduce it to 

 specific rules. 



I have endeavoured to combine the experi- 

 ence acquired during my professional career 

 at home and abroad, with the practical ob- 

 servations I have been led to make upon the 

 treatment of the horse ; and hope thereby 

 to confer a benefit, both on the noble animal 

 himself, and on my fellow creatures, and also 

 to merit the distinguished honour of your 

 Lordship's approbation. 



I have the honour to be. 

 My Lord, 

 Your Lordship's 



Most obedient humble Servant, 

 MERVYN RICHARDSON.
