Details the life and times of Fulwar Craven, a spectacular horseman, gambler and businessman in the sphere of horse racing in the UK. Also included is one colored image of Craven, the second earlier image of him as an officer IS NOT INCLUDED."Eccentricity was a favorite whim of the Beaus of the Regency- I had nearly laid prose, but I think it was something more than that- and eccentrics were to be found taking a prominent place in Society when the nineteenth century was well on its way.

Published under the French title 'Le Parfait Mareschal', this book covers the symptoms of common horse diseases, prevention tactics, known medicines, and how to breed horses. Other important topics include how to travel with horses, appropriate diet, improve teeth health, and necessary riding equipment. This book features illustrations of horses, horseshoes, braces, bits, and more!
