Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the art and science of horse training, offering a practical guide for those seeking to tame and educate their equine companions. Written in the late 19th century, the book reflects the prevailing practices and beliefs of the era, when horsemanship was considered a vital skill for both farmers and those involved in military service. The author, an experienced horse trainer who claims the title of ââ Å"Emperor of all Horse Educators,ââ  presents a detailed and systematic approach to training, emphasizing kindness and understanding alongside firm discipline. The book highlights the importance of early training, explaining how a colt can be taught to obey commands and overcome common vices like kicking, shying, and bolting. It also addresses the crucial role of proper feeding and care in developing a strong and healthy horse. The author passionately argues against the use of harsh methods and the overdraw check rein, which he considers cruel and unnecessary. He advocates for a humane and thoughtful approach to training, believing that a horse can be trained effectively without resorting to violence or coercion. This book offers valuable insights into the history of horsemanship and provides a unique perspective on the relationship between humans and horses, advocating for a balance of firmness and kindness in the training process. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
