Excerpt from The Farmer's and Horseman's Guide to Drive the Horse: Or the Right and Wrong Way to Drive a Horse Fully Exposed and Explained
The author, in publishing this work, has done so with an anxious desire of placing before the public the result of twenty years' experience in the education and management of the horse. I will also treat on the new and improved method of fully eradicating the bad and vicious habits occasioned by the ill management of drivers. To give a clear and comprehensive view, I have deemed it necessary to give the wrong way of driving, as practiced by the great majority of men, together with the right way, which needs but to be read to be appreciated. In treating on this subject, I am conscious that I am obliged to contend with many and obstinate difficulties. Owing to the many and various works that have been published, each contradicting and condemning in a great measure the other, it is not to be wondered at that the public, and especially those practically engaged in the management of horses, should denounce all works on this subject as an imposition. A great and distinguished poet has said: "He that cheats me once, shame to him; but he that cheats me twice, shame to me."
