Horse Breeding And Stud Management Vintage Horse Book

By Henry Wynmalen M.F.H.
Publisher: J.A. Allen & Co. LTD, 1976 edition, ISBN: 85131139 3
Printed in London, this was written for wealthy major breeders of bloodstock in the South of England. Mr Wynmalen shares his love of horses and remarkable depth of knowlege clearly and concisely.

A very comprehensive book on all aspects of Breeding Horses and successfully managing a Stud. Although an older book it is regarded as somewhat of a classic work in this field, with most of it still being relevant today. Contains a huge amount of invaluable advice for both the novice and experienced owner such as Sending a Mare To Stud, Stallions, Brood Mares, Mares and Foals, Young Stock, Feeding, Gestation Table, etc. Contains a number of black/white photographs throughout, as well as very informative line drawings.

All The King's Horses The Story Of The Budweiser Clydesdales Vintage Draft Horse Book By Alix Coleman & Steven D. Price
Publisher: The Viking Press, 1983, ISBN: 0-670-22588-6
The syncopated tune "Here Comes the King" may bring beer to the minds of millions of Americans, but what they see is a stunning team of eight beautiful horses pulling a bright red beer wagon. The Budweiser commercials are among the most successful and popular in the world, and much of this success can be credited to the horses themselves--the champion Clydesdales, that most stylish of draft horse breeds with their high stepping gait, their flashing white "feathered" feet, and thier colorful braided manes. Each year the Budweiser hitch makes hundreds of parade appearances throughout the country--at the Roses, country fairs, rodeos, race tracks, horse shows, and, of course, on national television. April 8, 1983, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the hitch, which was originally developed to celebrate the repeal of Prohibition, a gift from August A. Busch, Jr., to his father, a longtime horse lover who had lamented on the disappearance of multi-horse hitches, a noble and beautiful American tradition. Here are the Clydesdales in all their glory--photographed in full color especially for this book, at home, at rest in training, and on tour--one of America's most exciting and impressive symbols of quality and spirit. Tons of color & black & white photos or the horses present & past, plus some of the artwork by Sam Savitt, ads & marketing memorabilia. Comes with full color dust jacket. Excellent condition, minor wear to cover corners/edges & yellowed glue marks inside cover at spine connection.
