The Treatment of Morses 



blacksmith is careless, because the hoof of the 

 horse shod by a bad craftsman has the marks of 

 the rasp on the hoof. 



In the foregoing little book no attempt has been 

 made at any novelty, no pretence to originality. 

 Its virtue, if any, is that everything is the result of 

 the personal experience of one who has always 

 loved horses and had to consider ways and means. 

 I have tried to put down only what I have proved 

 to be useful, and to consider what counsels would 

 have been most profitable to myself as a beginner 

 in the practice of horsemanship.
