This is the first part of J. Prince-Sheldon's Live Stock in Health and Disease , a definitive guide to livestock keeping which deals with the breeding and management of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry. It also contains chapters on dairy farming, as well as a section on related veterinary subjects. This instalment focuses on horses, exploring their different types and origins.
