American Roadsters and Trotting Horses

This special re-print edition of H. T. Helms' "American Roadsters and Trotting Horses" is considered one of the most important works ever published on this famous breed of horse. First published in 1878, this important work on horses, has not seen the light of day since its early publication. Chapters include Breeding Problems, Heredity, Selection, Inbreeding, Crossbreeding, The Trotting Philosophy, Racing Blood and The Sources of Trotting Blood, as well as many chapters on many individual historic trotting horses and their offspring. Over 550 pages of hard to find information on Trotting Horses by one of the great experts of the 19th Century. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
