Farst-Hand Bits of Stable Lore 
By FRANCIS M. WARE 
Manager of the American Horse Exchange, New York 
‘‘ From the horse mart to the show ring in eighteen chapters, Mr. Ware treats of as 
many subjects, in a style terse and trenchant. Fossibly there is no man more fitted 
to speak, and surely no man could write more delightfully upon the subject,” says 
Town and Country, New York. 
Mr. Ware goes straight and hard to the point, and he has packed away an immense 
amount of information, advice, and suggestion in a volume that is, withal, extremely 
interesting. It is a pleasure to read a book by a man who knows his subject so 
thoroughly and writes with such humor and point. It treats nearly everything,— from 
buying a horse to the management of a pack of hounds,—but its burden throughout is 
on the thousand and one details connected with the management of the individual 
horse by the individual rider or driver.— Boston Herald. 
In delightfully conversational language Mr. Ware gives us many hints concerning 
the proper care of horses. Everyone who owns a horse should also own this volume.
