LCCN 66-12997. It is the purpose of this book to describe the breeds and types of horses that are found in the Western States, and to present methods of training. The detailed history of the better known breeds is not discussed to any great extent, since there are books and breed literature that cover that field. An attempt is made to show how various breeds have been combined to develop new breeds and the types of grade range horses that are a product of the Western States. One chapter deals with wild horses, a picturesque group of light horses found to some extent in almost all Western States. The horses role is discussed in recreation, shows, rodeos, and races. There is a section on shipping and marketing horses and a section of the book deals with the training of horses. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
