It is hoped that officers and candidates 

 who have passed through a course of 

 instruction and wish to keep up their 

 riding, will find the book useful as a guide, 

 that it will help them to direct soldiers 

 and grooms, and diminish the number of 

 cruel and expensive mistakes constantly 

 occurrino- in connection with the horse's 

 treatment.
