Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Horse and His Rider: Or, Sketches and Anecdotes of the Noble Quadruped and of Equestrian Nations Domestication of the Horse. - Horse Furniture. - Various Breeds. - Blood Horses. - ponies. The reduction of the horse to the domestic state, as Buffon justly observes, is the greatest acquisition from the animal world ever made by the art and industry of man. Every one knowns and admires the graceful symmetry, the speed, vigor, docility, and endurance of that noble creature; but few, perhaps, have reflected on the important part he has played in the history of our race; few are aware how much we owe it to him,that we at this day are not as rude and wretched as our barbarian forefathers, but live surrounded by those countless blessings which are the birthright of every child born in a civilized land.
