TRAINING AND HORSE MANAGEMENT IN INDIA. 



By Captain M. HORACE HAYES, 



Author of " Veterinary Notes for Horse Owners," "Riding," etc. 



"No better guide could be placed in the hands of either amateur horseman or veterinary surgeon." — The Veterinary 

 Journal. 



" A useful guide in regard to horses anywhere Concise, practical, and portable." — Saturday Review. 



"We have always been able to commend Captain Hayes's books as being essentially practical, and written in under- 

 standable language. As trainer, owner, and rider of horses on the flat and over country, the author has had a wide experience, 

 and when to this is added competent veterinary knowledge, it is clear that Captain Hayes is entitled to attention when he 

 speaks." — 7he Field.
