What reading level is Horses Past And Present book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
French, Italian, German and Austrian breeders were fully alive to the value of Hackney blood, and their agents coming every year to England for the purpose since about 1840 had purchased all the good stallions they could find to foster and promote the breeding of horses eminently suitable for carriage artillery and transport work. Mr. J. East, of the firm of Phillips and East, said that the French agents "buy the very best mares they can get ; you cannot get them to buy a bad mare. " The late M...r. H. R. Phillips stated in course of his evidence that his firm sent "from thirty to forty of these roadster stallions every year to France and Italy and different countries ; they sent as many as they could procure. " When asked how the number of Hackney stallions exported at that date compared with 74 the number exported ten or fifteen years previously (say about the year 1858), Mr. Phillips replied that the foreigners had always taken as many as they could get. Horses of roadster stamp are not less necessary to the efficiency of the British army than to Continental armies ; but while the Committee displayed the greatest care and assiduity in their investigations con- cerning the causes of dearth in saddle horses, they passed over the not less impor- tant question of harness horse supply, as though holding that a matter of no account.
