Excerpt from Hints on Horses: With Short Notes on Camels and Pack Animals; Also a Few Practical Suggetions on the Training of Polo Ponies an Players, and Gymkhana Training and Racing
This little book is not written for those who thoroughly understand the horse, and all his ailments. It is meant simply for the ordinary horse owner of England, although incidental reference is made to the treatment of horses in India.
I have mentioned only the common diseases and injuries, and their treatment, as simply as I can, in dealing with so big a subject.
These notes are compiled from knowledge gained at the Aldershot School Lectures, and by carefully studying Fitzwygram, Hayes, Stonehenge, Youatt and the Badminton Library. To these great authorities I refer you for detailed information.
As many men are often put in charge of camels and mules when abroad, I have written a few notes on these animals, and also a paragraph on horse sickness in Africa.
To these are added notes on training ponies for polo, and a few notes on gymkhana racing.
