Training the Trotting Horse: A Natural and Improved Method of Educating Trotting Colts and Horses Based on Twenty Years Experience (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Training the Trotting Horse: A Natural and Improved Method of Educating Trotting Colts and Horses Based on Twenty Years ExperienceAlthough the title page of this book is perhaps a sufficient preface, a word as to its origin and preparation is due the reader.For publishing the book no apology is required. Whether it will fill a "long-felt want" or not is for the public to decide; but that the want exists no one can doubt.What the Palo Alto system of training has accomplished is the best guarantee of its excellence. The system under which are developed animals to break the worlds record at all ages, from one year old to four years old, speaks for itself. In common with many others, I have long recognized in Charles Marvin the greatest of trotting-horse trainers, or perhaps I should say educators. He seemed peculiarly the genius of his profession. His friends reasoned that a book on training was wanted - and who so fit to write it as the master trainer? Mr. Marvin is a modest man, and it was only in deference to the repeated urging of his friends that he consented, with the assistance of an editor, to undertake the work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
