Description
Excerpt from The Shire Horse: In Peace and War
By those who take an interest in the world''s heaviest breed of horses, as well as war news, this book may be tolerated, seeing that it deals with the old War Horse of Britain, many true descendants being actively engaged in moving tons and guns at the present time. I make no claim to having written anything new, but as a kind of pocket record of what Shire breeders, and exhibitors, have hitherto accomplished with their animals the facts herein contained may be useful, and I hope that all readers, as well as Shire breeders, will forgive any inaccuracies in my figures and all the imperfections in this my first attempt at book-writing.
