This lovely little text contains a detailed treatise on horse racing,
with information on training, breeding, entering races, and many other
allied subjects. Clear and concise, and filled with helpful diagrams and
tables, this text will be of considerable value to anyone with an
interest in the topic, and it makes for a great addition to collections
of horse-racing literature. The chapters of this book include: 'High
Pedigree'; 'Approved Mares Only: Breeding'; 'Licensed to Train: The
Training of Race-Horses'; 'Stables: Routine, Feeding, Illnesses';
'Caution - Race-Horses: Trainers & Their Establishments'; 'Schooled Over
Fences: Training of Jumpers'; 'Aintree'; 'The Weighing-Room'; and much
more besides. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete
with a new and specially commissioned introduction on horses as used for
sports and utility.
