What reading level is Horses Past And Present book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They did not recommend any check on the use of unsound stallions, though admitting this to be a great evil ; to restrain owners of unsound sires from offering their services for hire would, they thought, be construed as interference with individual liberty ; but, if practicable, they would have prizes given at agricultural shows to sound stallions which covered mares at a low fee.
They also recommended (and this was the only one of their recommendations adopted by the House of Commons) the abol...ition of taxes on horses which operated as a deterrent to farmers who would otherwise pay more attention to breeding. The evidence given before them showed that there appeared to be no scarcity of Thoroughbreds : high- class hunters had increased in price and more in proportion than other horses, but those who could afford to pay could generally find what they required. There was a general decrease in the number of horses in England ; the evidence pointed to a great scarcity of agricultural horses, 72 and while the Cleveland Bay and old- fashioned Hackney or Roadster had become extremely rare, we had been obliged of late years to look abroad for supplies of harness horses.
