Synopsis
Excerpt from Shelburne Farms Stud, Shelburne, Chittenden County Vermont of English Hackneys Harness and Saddle Horses, Ponies and Trotters
In compiling this work I have endeavored to place the matter before the reader in as simple a manner as possible, and have divided the different departments so clearly that each division may be said to be self-explanatory. With regard to this preface, the several points discussed will be easily discernible by virtue of the headings which appear at intervals. The illustrations, which have all been reproduced by the photogravure process after photographs taken on the farms, will, I trust, render the perusal of this book more enjoyable than is generally the case with the average catalogue issued by members of the horse-breeding fraternity. It is also hoped that these illustrations will prove of material assistance in convey ing to the reader some idea of the picturesque nature of the surroundings of the Stud; for, in addition to the matter-of - fact breeding establishments to be found there, a great many otherdelightful features abound which afford amusement and pleasure to the visitor whilst he chooses to remain within the confines of the estate.
