Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Care, Treatment, and Training of the English Race Horse, Vol. 2 of 2: In a Series of Rough Notes
IF the training, running, and riding of race horses is not to be considered as a science, I think it may be fairly admitted, that it is a species of knowledge that can only be acquired by early experience, as by boys being put into training stables at twelve years of age, there to remain under a good practical training groom for at least ten or twelve years; and that it is only by the early impressions made on the minds of steady attentive boys, while they are going pro gressively on throughout the whole practical gra dations, both in and out of the stables, that they, on arriving at a state of manhood, become equal to undertaking, in every department of it, the management of a racing establishment.
