"An elaborate and instructive compendium of sound knowledge on a subject of great moment to all 

 owners of horses, by a writer of established authority on all matters connected witb the horse."— Tm<?j. 



** We hml the advent of a work on the subject by such a past master of the arts hippie as Captain Horace 

 Hayes, late of * The Buffs,' and a Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, the author of several 

 of the most simple and thoroughly instructive treatises upon riding, breaking, and veterinary treatment of the 

 }ioTst"^Land and Water^ 



** There is not a page in the book that does not display knowledge, and those who desire to become 

 familiar with the character of the horse will find the work invaluable. It is scientific in its method, and 

 practical in its purpose."— -(4rw/ and Navy Gazette 



"A soldier, a certificated veterinarian, a traveller, and a successful rider, the author is well qualified to 

 treat on all that pertdns to the subject before us." — Nature, 



'* This is another of Captain Hayes' good books on the horse, and to say it is the best would not be going 

 far out of the way of truth. It is a luxurious book, well got up, well and clearly printed in large readable 

 type, and profusely illustrated." — Saturday Review. 



** A volume that must be regarded as a standard work On the subject. It is well done. No point is left 

 unexplained ; no quaHty in a type unnoticed." — Pall Mall Budget, 



'* To those who are desirous of availing themselves of the knowledge of a writer who has been used to horses 

 all hib life, the book may be cordially recommended." — Meld. 



** No book like this has hitherto appeared in English, or any other language. For ^ving us such a 

 beautiful, interesting and instructive book, the members of the veterinary profession, horsemen and horse 

 owners, as well as delineators of the horse, in every English-speaking country must acknowledge themselves 

 deeply indebted to Captain Hayes." — Veterinary yourmd*
