Horse training refers to a wide variety of practices that teach horses to perform certain behaviors when asked to do so by humans. Horses are trained to be manageable by humans for everyday care as well as for equestrian activities from horse racing to therapeutic horseback riding for people with disabilities.
Historically, horses were trained for warfare, farm work, sport and transport. Today, most horse training is geared toward making horses useful for a variety of recreational and sporting equestrian pursuits. Horses are also trained for specialized jobs from movie stunt work to police and crowd control activities, circus entertainment, and equine-assisted psychotherapy. This listing is for a CD-Rom republication for a collection of 7 vintage Horse Training How To Books. Title include:
The Art of Taming Horses - 1859 by JS Rarey.
250 pages of illustrations and vignettes. From the book - "In the following work I shall endeavour to fill up the blanks in Mr. Rarey's sketch, and with the help of pictures and diagrams, show how a cool determined man or boy may break in any colt, and make him a docile hack, harness horse, or hunter; stand still, follow, and obey the voice almost as much as the reins."
Hints to Horse Keepers - 1859 by by Henry William Herbert.
A wonderful 490 page book, These Hints to Horse-Keepers are intended to in- clude every subject of interest to those who, for pleasure or business, own or use a horse. From their comprehensiveness they are necessarily brief and condensed. More elaborate works on each speciality have previously been in the hands of the public, and this volume is not adapted, nor intended, to supplant them; but by presenting in one volume a com pen d of our valuable standard works, with the latest discoveries and improvements, it is believed we have answered a demand till now unsupplied.
Rational Horse-Shoeing - 1873 by Wildair.
"In presenting the observations contained in the following pages, we are aware that we appeal to practical men who judge by results, and have but slight patience with mere theory. We wish, therefore, to state clearly at the outset, that the system of horse-shoeing herein advocated, and the shoe offered by us to accompany it and accomplish its purpose, are the result of years of patient study of nature, and actual experiment; and that although we have had to contend with ignorance and interest on the part of the farriers, and indifference and prejudice on the part of owners of horses, we have finally succeeded in interesting the most practical and capable men in America, England, and France in the matter.
Book of The Horse - 1880 by Samuel Sidney.
Thorough-bred, half-bred, cart-bred, saddle and harness, British and foreign, with hints on horsemanship; the management of the stable; breeding, breaking and training for the road, the park, and the field.
The Horse, Its Taming & Training - 1888 by Sydney Galvayne.
Training and general management with anecdotes relating to horses and horsemen.
Breaking and Training Horses - 1903 by Frank Townend Barton
From the book: Of course, each Horse-breaker naturally advocates some particular system—which he chooses to call his own—and it is just this egotism that destroys the value of his information, no matter how successfully he may have applied it. In a book of this class it is essential that theory be ready to shake hands with practice, because without this case of demonstration a book on Horsebreaking becomes merely a delusion." 209 pages.
Illustrated Horse Breaking - 1905 by M. Horace Hayes
392 pages. A well illustrated book of horse training and breaking.
