What reading level is Practical Horsemanship book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
KEEPING A HORSE IN HAND.
HORSES ADDICTED TO TRIPPING. — COURSE TO BE ADOPTED. — CURIOUS ANALOGIES. — PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE. A FEW LESSONS IN ROTTEN ROW. DIF- FERENCE BETWEEN BLUNDERING AND TRIPPING ILLUS- TRATED.
There is a mode of keeping our present roads in order, that I have heard termed "darning" them ; this is, if a part is seen somewhat lower than the general surface, the unbroken pieces of granite are got up to it, and there left to be crushed by the wheels of carriages passing ov...er them. The under stratum of ground is left hard ; so these three, four, or five cornered pieces of stone are left to be trodden on by the first or any horse that is obliged to go over them. The hard- ness of the under surface prevents their sinking with any w^eight on them, so a horse might, in fact, as w^ell tread on an iron peg fixed and left an inch or two high. Let the rider, above all abominations as to ground, avoid a piece that has been thus darned ; for unless the sole of his horse's foot is as hard as the granite itself, the chances are, if he is not exceedingly on the alert and quick on his legs, that he comes on his nose, ^' A CAT ON A HOT GRIDDLE." 147 though on all other occasions as safe as a cat on a carpet.
