Excerpt from The Handy Horse-Book: Or Practical Instructions in Driving, Riding, and the General Care and Management of Horses, With Engravings

My object, therefore, in offering the following remarks, is not to trench upon the sphere of the professional veterinary surgeon or riding-master, but to render horse-proprietors independent of the dictation of ignorant farriers and grooms. In; tending this little work merely as a useful manual, I have purposely avoided technicalities, as belong ing exclusively to the professional man, and eu deavoured to present my dissertations on disease in the most comprehensive terms possible, propos ing only simple remedies as far as they go; though, for the satisfaction of my readers, I may mention that, as an amateur, I have myself devoted much time and thought to the study of anatomy, and that any treatment of disease herein recommended has been carefully perused and approved by a veterinary surgeon. Theories are excluded, and I confine myself simply to practical rules founded on my own experience.
