Summary "The Arabian Art of Taming and Training Wild & Vicious Horses" by T. Gilbert, Bro. Ramsey & Co. is a practical manual on horse training written in the mid-19th century. The text emphasizes methods for taming wild horses, particularly those that are stubborn or have aggressive tendencies, drawing from the cultural practices of the Arabs, who are highlighted for their effective horsemanship techniques and deep bond with their horses. The opening of the book introduces the historical significance of horse domestication, explaining how the horse has served mankind for millennia. It illustrates the contrasts in horsemanship techniques across cultures, with a strong focus on the humane and understanding treatment of horses, which leads to better cooperation from the animals. The author lays out three fundamental principles aimed at establishing a successful training regimen and begins detailing techniques for safely handling and stabling young colts, emphasizing a gentle approach to avoid scaring the horses, and gradually building their trust and obedience through calming interactions.
