« This book is an attempt at arranging information useful to the farmer, breeder and
student. It is the out-growth of experience both as a practical horse breeder and
an instructor. The book includes a discussion of the economic usefulness, judging
and allied subjects, early history, a study of the breeds, breeding, feeding, care
and management of both horses and mules. Special emphasis is placed on the management
of the brood mare as well as that of the colt from the time the mare is bred until
the colt is ready for farm work or the market. This includes a discussion of the methods
of training, overcoming undesirable habits, fitting, harnessing and the like.
Because of the increasing popularity and field of usefulness, the mule is given prominence.
This necessitates a consideration of the several breeds of jacks, as well as special
suggestions on the care and development of the mule-breeding jack, as not all jacks
are suitable for siring mules.[…] » Présentation de l’éditeur (1913)
