It is probable, that some may believe, that the writer and compiler of the following work is not well informed; not having trodden the regular pathway through vet- erinary science. Yet had he followed in the footsteps of his predecessors, his time would have been taken up in comprehending, and imitating, that which has been already written, instead of originating his new, and bet- ter system. The only regret to beexpressed Is, that so much suffering has been caused by error, and that this simple system, had not been sooner discovered, when it was so greatly needed. May we not be excused, if we say, it makes the blood boil^ and the heart quiver with indignation, when we see men, instead of honestly acknowledging their errors, cling to their old prejudices, though broken from under them by piece-meal. Is it right, that men of science, the appointed guar- dians of this noble animal, the horse, should be suffered to continue a system through pride, or the sake of gain, without rebuke and exposure, when remonstrance has no A 2 INTRODUCTORY. effect ? Dr. C. C. Grice, if I have been rightly informed, called at the Field, Turf and Farm Office, to object to the publication of articles similar to one I had written (See page 84) concerning Professor Gamgee, wherein I quoted a statement made by him, that only three per cent, of his pupils were practically useful, and to these com- petent ones, he invariably returned their fees, and pro- cured them situations with agricultural societies. The Editor replied, that all that had been asserted in the article was correct ; and that the operation had been performed under Mr. Dunbar's supervision. Dr. Grice then remarked that even if it was true, he should not have published it, as it was ruinous to their business. Why such obstinacy ? Are the injuries created by ignorance to become temptations to gain ? or, are the yieldings so prolific ? Their mistakes or blunders, are, indeed, numerous, and should be humiliating, at least such cases as that of " Brother Jonathan." I have often been asked, why not write a book, giv- ing the precise information.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • The Horse Collar (Edited from Wikipedia)
    The Horse Collar (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A horse collar is a part of a horse harness that is used to distribute the load around a horse's neck and shoulders when pulling a wagon or plough. The collar often supports and pads a pair of curved metal or wood pieces, called hames, to which the traces of the harness are attached. The collar allows the horse to use its full strength when pulling, essentially enabling the horse to push forward with its hindquarters into the collar. If wearing a yoke or a breastcollar, it had to pull with its less-powerful shoulders. The collar had another advantage over the yoke as it reduced pressure on the horse's windpipe. From the time of the invention of the horse collar, horses became more valuable for plowing and pulling. When the horse was harnessed in the collar, the horse could apply 50% more power to a task in a given time period than could an ox, due to the horse's greater speed. Additionally, horses generally have greater endurance than oxen, and thus can work more hours each day. The importance and value of horses as a resource for improving agricultural production increased accordingly. The horse collar was very important to the development of many areas of the world. Wherever oxen were used and could be replaced with horses, the use of horses boosted economies, and reduced reliance on subsistence farming. This allowed people more free time to take on specialized activities, and consequently to the development of early industry, education, and the arts in the rise of market-based towns.
