AUTHOR'S NOTE TO PREVIOUS EDITION. 



IN Part I., Chapter II., some additional remarks are 

 offered on the subject of the crupper for cavalry saddles. 

 In Part II., Chapter I., the author enters a protest 

 against the notion of his having ever advocated any one 

 shape or size of bit as being universally applicable. In 

 Part III., Chapter III., Fehrmann's Horse-saver (Fferde 

 Shconer) is described, and its use explained. There 

 are also some remarks on brakes, on the disadvantage 

 of depending on the crupper in draught, for mares or 

 horses inclined to kick ; on long breechings, and on the 

 uses and abuses of the bearing -rein; the latter arising 

 from its being employed to make a display, the former 

 being however very real, if properly understood and 



carried out.
