A professional horse educator, whose classes he says included President Grant and members of Congress, opens with his own life story and then explains his methods for gentling colts and curing kicking, balking and shying with ropes, pulleys and patience. Later chapters cover the history of the horse, feeding and fitting, shoeing, trotting rules and fast-horse records to 1876.
