The Horse's Friend: The Only Practical Method Of Educating The Horse And Eradicating Vicious Habits - Softcover
Synopsis
The Horse's Friend: The Only Practical Method Of Educating The Horse And Eradicating Vicious Habits by O. S. Pratt is a mid-19th-century work that blends autobiography with a comprehensive guide to humane horse training. Pratt narrates his rise from a thrifty, education-hungry youth to a renowned horse educator, then outlines his system for educating horses—emphasizing kindness, patient repetition, and careful handling over punitive methods. The book interweaves Pratt’s personal travels across the United States and Canada, where he establishes academies, receives testimonials, and gains the support of prominent figures and newspapers. It also contains historical context about the horse, directions for feeding and fitting, a detailed system of educating the horse, tricks for horses, and a wealth of veterinary recipes and harnessing techniques. Throughout, the text champions humane treatment and education of both horse and rider, offering a unique antiquarian perspective on equine training and the trotting era that dominated the period’s culture and industry.
