Excerpt from New System of Educating Horses: Including Instructions on Feeding, Watering, Etc;, Also How Shoeing Should Be Done; With Simple Practical Treatment for Diseases, Illustrated, Including a Large Number of Valuable Recipes Not Before Published Since publishing my first book in 1864, comprising only 64 pages, I have made many important improvements, until it is now conceded that my system of Educating Horses, is the simplest and most practical in the world. To harmonize with my work, I have found it necessary to repeatedly revise and enlarge it, making it comprise many times the mount of matter contained in the first. My principles of subduing vicious horses constitute an entirely new feature of my success, wholly superseding the throwing-down principle, found to be so valuable by myself and others. Included also will be found the most reliable and practical treatment for the care and cure of sick and lame horses, &c. I have expended over $5,000 in the study of Veterinary Practice alone. My unquestioned experience and success, in addition to the value of my equipments, comprising the most beautiful and valuable troupe of Educated Horses in the world, is a guarantee of qualification and responsibility that entitles me to a confidence that cannot be accorded to those who, without reputation or experience, may engage in the business from motives of policy. I introduce simple common sense principles that make the successful control of even the wildest and most vicious horses, not only possible, but easy for any one of ordinary strength and intelligence to do, which are as humane as they are effective and valuable.
