In these pages it has been my endeavour topoint out some of the errors in horse-breakingwhich have been blindly followed from generationto generation, and to embrace as muchmatter in a short space as is compatible withclearness of expression.
I hope that this little volume may proveof some service to agriculturists and horse-owners,who often break-in their own coltsor cause them to be broken-in by their[vi] grooms, and that they may be able to realiselarger prices for their horses when properlybroken than they otherwise would.
