Excerpt from Stable Management and Exercise: A Book for Horse-Owners and Students A quarter of a century's experience in writing technical books on horses proves to me that the reading public, which becomes better educated every day, values opinions only when they are supported by valid reasons. Therefore, while giving full prominence to practical details, I have tried to explain their principles in a scientific manner, and have been greatly helped in this endeavour by many eminent authorities whose names I have mentioned in the text of this book. Without their valuable and kindly assistance and advice, it would have been impossible for Degrees me to have obtained all, or even the most part, of the information of which I was in search. I am much obliged to Messrs. Sutton and Sons for the grasses and clovers, of which I have taken photographs; to Messrs. Champion and Wilton and Mr. T. U. Clarke for help about saddlery and harness and to Mr. Arthur Richards for notes on the cleaning of carriages and gear, and on stable servants.
