To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If a horse goes lame suddenly on the road, get down, and you will often find he has got a stone wedged in between the frog and the shoe and the stone is pressing on the sole ; hammer it out with your whip handle. Corns are common, but are not dangerous. Remove the shoe, pare out the corn seat and dress with butter of antimony ; and when the shoe is put back see that the smith springs off the point of the shoe when hot and thus relieves the pressure on the corn. Now a word or two on the question... of hunting on the cheap, and how the one-horse man may get as much hunting as his one horse will permit. It is a somewhat depressing task. I might as well set out to tell you where to get a good suit of clothes for four guineas or a pair of boots for 30s. If you have but one horse the main thing is not to give him long days. It is the long absence from the stable that tries the horse more than anything else. I believe, if you took your horse to a meet, say four miles off, met at 11 o'clock, and had a good hunt of forty minutes soon after hounds threw off, and at once came home and were in your stable again by 1.
