Highland Ponies and Some Reminiscences of Highlandmen

By John C. MacDonald

Originally published in the early 1900s. This is the best of very few books ever published on Highland Ponies. The illustrated contents include detailed chapters on: Island Ponies - The Ponies of Skye - Of Uist - Of Barra - Of Rhum - Of Mull - Of Arran - Of Lewis and Harris - Of Tiree - Of Islay - Shetland Ponies. On Mainland Ponies - The Atholl Ponies - Applecross Stud - Glenartney Forest Stud - Ponies of Sutherland and Caithness - Gaick Ponies - Glenorchy Ponies - Corriechuille and His Stud - The Drumchorry Stud - Rosehaugh Stud - Dunira and Elcho Park Studs - Beechwood Stud - Characteristics of Highland Ponies - Reminiscences of Highland Men and Their Ways. Etc. Many of the earliest equestrian books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
