The Standard Horse Book Comprising the Taming, Controlling and Educating of Unbroken and Vicious Horses, and How to Break Up Bad Habits and Vices; The Diseases of Horses and Their Remedies (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Standard Horse Book: Comprising the Taming, Controlling and Educating of Unbroken and Vicious Horses, and How to Break Up Bad Habits and Vices; The Diseases of Horses and Their Remedies When man first came to know the horse he had a special type. He often goes back toward that type now. This original horse was a dun colored animal, inclined to stripes, much like his present brother, the zebra. In our southwest, where he has in some cases gone wild again, a reversion to this ancient type is common. He was an animal difficult to tame, as the zebra is, but this taming was first effected in times unknown. So far as we are concerned, man has always known the horse tame, and a slave. He and the earliest records of human history go together. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
