The true method of dieting horses. containing many curious and useful observations
concerning their marks, colour and external shape, their temper and instinct; and
how they are to be governed, so as to prevent accidents and diseases. The proper method
of feeding suited to their age, strength and constitution; wherein the pernicious
customs, which have obtain’d among many ignorant grooms and other pretenders to horsmanship,
are exposed, and their errors carefully amended. Under which is likewise contain’d
the right and proper exercise, necessary not only in the above-mentioned respects,,
but apply’d to the most usual services required of horses, whether those for travelling,
and labour, those for the manage, or those for pleasure. As also observations concerning
the right ordering of troop horses, with a discourse on breeding, founded on the Duke
of Newcastle’s short method; very necessary for the imroving our breed, and raising
a beautiful and useful race of horses. By W. Gibson
