The opening pages

Cavelarice; or The English Horseman,

containing all the art of horsemanship, as much as is necessary for any man to understand, whether he be horse-breeder, horse-rider, horse-hunter, horse-runner, horse-ambler, horse-Ferrier, horse-keeper, coachman, smith, or saddler.

Together with the discovery of the subtle trade or mystery of horse-coursers, & an explanation of the excellence of a horse's understanding, or how to teach them to do tricks like Banks his curtail; and that a horse may be made to draw dry-foot like a hound.

Secrets before unpublished, & now carefully set down for the profit of this whole nation.

by Gervase Markham
