'Percheron horse' Summary
This volume, written by Charles du Hays, a distinguished French author, is a translation of a report he presented to the French government. The book centers around the Percheron breed, a prominent draft horse renowned for its strength and versatility. Du Hays advocates for the Percheron's importance in agricultural work and transportation, noting its combination of power and speed. The book explores the importance of selective breeding in maintaining the Percheron's desired characteristics, arguing for the need for careful selection of breeding pairs and for the occasional introduction of new bloodlines to prevent inbreeding and maintain robust bloodlines. The author's insights on the Percheron's qualities and breeding practices are considered to be both practical and insightful. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Percheron breed and its importance in France, where it was highly valued for its strength and agility.Book Details
