Synopsis

The New System Of Educating Horses Including Instructions On Feeding, Watering, Stabling, Shoeing, Etc. With Practical Treatment For Diseases. Illustrated. Including A Large Number Of Valuable Recipes Not Before Pulished by D. Magner presents a comprehensive late-19th-century manual on horse education and care. The work, issued as a tenth edition revised and enlarged (1872) with roots tracing to an 1860s program, lays out a “New System” for subduing vicious horses and training them through humane methods, rather than brutal force. It covers feeding, watering, stabling, shoeing, and a wide array of diseases and treatments, accompanied by practical recipes and veterinary guidance credited to Dr. Wm. Somerville. The text interleaves theoretical rationale—emphasizing calm, kindness, and progressive conditioning—with countless step-by-step procedures for haltering, bitting, driving, mounting, handling the feet, and shoeing. It preserves testimonials, press notices, and portraits of Magner’s educated horses, reflecting a cultural moment when horses were central to work, display, and public pedagogy. The book thus functions as a both a veterinary manual and an instructional tract for horse owners, trainers, and veterinarians.
