परिचय
This text contains a practical instruction manual for the driving, riding, general care and management of horses, written by a cavalry officer. The author's original intention in composing this volume was to render horse-proprietors independent of the dictation of ignorant farriers and grooms. This text avoids technicalities, and endeavours to present the author's dissertations on disease in the most comprehensive terms possible, proposing only simple remedies as far as they go.
