Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Four Oaks were the leaders, through four generations, of the Forshaw family, pre-eminent in international Shire Horse breeding from the time of Waterloo until the end of the Second World War. Keith Chivers, the foremost authority on the history of the Shire Horse, presents material which is not… only original, but unique. A close friend of Richard, the last of the Four Oaks, he is able to recount the Forshaw's family history with inimitable accuracy and detail. Few, even of those old enough to remember their winter coal being delivered by a horse, have paused to consider how these animals were bred: their mothers were farm workers scattered throughout the country; their fathers were travelling stallions, walking up to seventy miles a week, each covering perhaps a hundred or more mares in a season. For the majority of farmers in England and Wales cart-horse breeding was only a side-line, but the specialist stallion-owners developed a highly organised and sophisticated system, which brought about an astonishing improvement in the power and longevity of the animals toiling in the towns. The Forshaws were the foremost proprietors of heavy draught stallions in the country, renowned both at home and abroad for the quality of their animals. Largely thanks to them, by 1914 the English Shire was the most efficient draught horse in the world. Keith Chivers realises that 'for most of us the lives and eccentricities of people are more interesting than horses', and The Four Oaks is peppered with fascinating accounts of the people and customs of the horse age. He recounts how the public stallion business had such a devastating effect on rural morals that mothers locked up their daughters when the stallion came to town - in Scotland a law was passed prohibiting the serving of mares in any place where women or boys could see it. We are introduced to a group of people spanning the social spectrum - ranging from George V to Gwen Webb-Peploe, daughter of the Vicar of Christ Church Cheltenham. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that e…ncompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
