Excerpt from Horses: Their Points and Management in Health and Disease
Although there are a vast number of books upon the market relating to the Horse in one way or another, the author believes that there is still a little room left for literature of the right class upon the subject.
The Points and Management of the Horse in Health, Accident and Disease does not profess to be any more than an elementary treatise, but the writer has confidence in believing that it will be found to contain the essential elements, without wearying his readers with matter of no material interest or utility.
The various breeds of horses have been discussed in relation to their points, not only for the Show Ring, but for utility in other ways, and whenever necessary, the writer - as an experienced and practical veterinarian - has endeavoured to indicate not only faulty conformation, but also disease detrimental either for breeding purposes, or for work.
Chapters on general management; the management of brood mares; feeding; diseases in general; immunity to disease, etc., have been briefly alluded to, and should prove of some practical utility.
The book ought to be of service to those residing abroad, the principal tropical diseases having received passing notice.
