"The title of this volume, I think, explains itself. The following chapters are simply the outcome of a good deal of personal experience gained among the stud-farms of England, Ireland and France. I have purposely not dealt with such difficult questions as pedigrees, in-breeding, or winning families, as I am ambitious enough to think that these are deserving of a separate volume." chapters include: The thoroughbred and it conformation; Laying out a stud-farm; Paddocks and pasturage; Choosing the right mares; In the stallion box; foals and yearlings; At training-quarters; In the sale-ring; Is the Derby a fair test?; Some modern thoroughbreds; Round some famouse studs; The esport trade; Some famous show-hunters; Light horse breeding; Horse shos; Point-to-points, their training and winning; Breeding of steeplechasers; Riding to hounds.
