"Essays on Horse Subjects" by F. C. Grenside is a collection of essays centered on various aspects of horse management and care, written in the early 20th century. The essays draw upon Grenside's extensive experience as a practical horseman and veterinarian, addressing topics often overlooked in equine literature. The text aims to illuminate the complex interplay between horse anatomy, care, and performance, offering insights valuable to both horse owners and trainers. The opening of the collection lays out the author's intent and establishes the purpose of the essays. Grenside explains that the essays were born from his contributions to equine publications and aim to fill a gap in horse-related literature. He emphasizes the importance of understanding concepts like "quality" in horses—what it means, its attributes, and its implications for breeding and performance. He passionately discusses how various physical traits can affect a horse's health and performance, setting the stage for the essays that will follow, which promise to offer practical advice based on both scientific understanding and hands-on experience.
