To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is a very common fault and a very cruel thing to do. It makes sore backs and sore sides. This destroys the usefulness of your horse. Remember that your harness, well fitted in garrison, will be too large once your horses begin to lose flesh, as they will, in the field. Have harness always fitted as for field service. 2. When riding do not slouch in your saddle ; sit straight. Slouch- ing makes sore backs and causes the horse to interfere. Do not ride too closely on the heels of the horse i...n front of you. Failure to observe this rule may inflict painful wounds on your horse and the one in front of you ; these take a long time to heal. 3. In driving, keep a steady gait with your animals. Do not drive them with your whip ; use your reins and voice. A man who is always using his whip soon drives thin and balky animals. Select your road as carefully as you can for guns and wagons. Cavalry should march at the rate of four miles perhour, including halts, artillery at four miles per hour, and wagons at three miles per hour.
