Description:Excerpt from Sketch of the Development of the Modern Horse: Bickmore's Horse Book Many authors have sought to enlighten the minds of people in regard to the horse, and valuable books not a few treat of his history, present status and management. By no means, however, has the subject been exhausted, and even had it been there would still exist the conditions that prompt the present effort. It is our purpose to present in a brief and concise form a reliable and accurate summary of the best information concerning the horse as he now exists and some of the stages through which he has passed in his development. Few if any of our domestic animals present subjects of greater interest to the scientist or to the general public than horses. While they have come into man's service more recently, perhaps, than any of the animals in the group with which they are commonly associated, their story as now told extends farther back into the recesses of the past than that of the others. Their history and development has been better worked out, and abounds in facts of exceptional interest. They were among the earliest animals to receive the attention of progressive breeders. Their improvement antedates that of cattle, sheep or swine. Their pedigrees were much earlier recorded and pure breeding among them preceded that of any other class of animals. Nor do we wonder at this when we consider the intimacy of horse and rider, their constant companionship and the dependence of man upon his horse in the chase, in the pursuit of foes, or in the escape from his enemies. Indeed, man's relative dependence upon his horse was formerly far greater than now. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
