Live Stock in Health and Disease - Part I - The Breeding and Management of Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Pigs, and Poultry - With Chapters on Dairy Farming and a Full and Detailed Veterinary Vade-Mecu

This is the first part of J. Prince-Sheldon’s 'Live Stock in Health and Disease', a definitive guide to livestock keeping which deals with the breeding and management of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry. It also contains chapters on dairy farming, as well as a section on related veterinary subjects. This instalment focuses on horses, exploring their different types and origins. This profusely-illustrated handbook will be of considerable utility to farmers and equestrians interested in breeding and riding horses for sport or pleasure. Contents include: 'Horse-Breeding in the British Isles', 'Breeding, Breaking and Training Light Horses', 'Oriental Blood-Horses: Arabs, Barbs, Persians, Dongolas, Turcomans', 'The Origin of the Modern British Horse', 'History of the English Broodmare', 'The Modern Brood-Horse', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the care and management of horses.
