Synopsis
Excerpt from Stable Practice: Or, Hints on Training for the Turf, the Chase and the Road; With Observations Addressed to All Who Are Concerned in Racing, Steeple-Chasing, and Fox-Hunting
The object of this work is to point out the best means to render the horse fit for actual service of every kind.
The mysteries which formerly enshrouded the stable have long been laid bare; and we trust that we shall here offer to the young aspirant for racing fame, and the no less ardent admirer of the chase, such hints as may assist both in the treatment of their respective coursers.
Any person who is fond of horses, endowed with moderate assiduity, observation, and judgment, may direct the management of a few race-horses or steeple chasers, so as to find in it a source of vast amusement and excitement without encountering the expense of public training stables.
