INTRODUCTION 



I HAVE read with a great deal of interest the proof sheets of " Modern Horse Manage- 

 ment," which have been sent to me before printing. 



I sincerely congratulate the author upon the perseverance and hard work which 

 enabled him to compile this book. It must be a great source of pleasure for him 

 to know that the book will be useful, not only to his brother officers, but also to 

 all those who own or care for horses. 



I am very proud indeed to see that an officer of my old regiment has established 

 the fact that with study and persistent work one can acquire that knowledge in horse- 

 manship and horsemastership that the author has shown himself to possess in 



writing this book.
