[002371] Dale, T.F.. Riding and Polo Ponies. London: Lawrence & Bullen Ltd, 1902. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good / No Jacket. The author was a great polo enthusiast and one of his arguments in this book is that there is no reason for any country farmer not to derive an extra income from breeding polo ponies. The author describes in detail how polo ponies evolved, our native breeds of ponies and how they are bred, then the influence of native and foreign breeds on the riding pony. He gives space to the Polo Pony Society, of which he was a council member, and its stud books, and describes polo pony shows and competitions. Judging from the number of pictures, he was an enthusiast for the American polo pony and he also devotes a long section to the polo pony in India. Finally he deals with riding ponies and remounts and with pony character. The historian will find the list of leading riding pony studs quite fascinating. There are 33 black and white photographic plates. Noted that the plate facing page 139 has become detached. Also the tissue paper protecting the plate opposite the title page is largely missing.

[002372] Boucaut, the Hon. Sir James Penn KCMG. The Arab, the Horse of the Future.
London: Gay & Bird, 1905. Hard Cover. Good / No Jacket. The author was a Supreme Court judge in South Australia. In his introduction he explains that his main motive for trying to set up a stud of pure Arab horses in South Australia was to be able to get away from the city and the Supreme Court at the weekend. In his opinion, the Australian horse had reached a poor state at the beginning of the 20th Century and another of his motives was to try to improve the breeding stock. After he has dealt with the deterioration of the Australian horse, he goes on to a long chapter on the deterioration of the horse in England, examines the cause of the deterioration and argues his case that the deterioration "has been in falling away from the Arab". He then champions the excellence of the Arabian horse according to his several authorities, including the great Emir Abd-El-Kader. He explains how the Arab has been admired particularly by great soldiers of history and describes the horses of ancient Arabia so far as history has told us about them. Chapter 9 is interestingly entitled "Mr Day and the Dodo". In this chapter the author argues the case against Mr Day who had said that "for practical purposes he [the Arab] might be as defunct as the Dodo". Finally there is a survey of what sort of horse the aspiring breeder should choose and a worldwide survey of horsebreeding activity. The volume is in very satisfactory condition for its age. There are eight photographic plates. There is some foxing and a neat pencil inscription inside the front cover. The front cover is beginning to detach from the spine.
