Excerpt from Practical Horsemanship The design of the present book did not originate with myself, but'was suggested to me by others, who flatter me by thinking that I could write what might be acceptable and useful to many, on the subject of general practical horsemanship. Of course, wherever, and whenever, horsemanship is displayed, be it of what sort it may, it is practical; but I mean by the term to indicate such horse manship as is in every-day use.
