The demand for this book is still unabated, for it is the standard work on the American horse.
"This is a masterly treatise by the master of his profession—the ripened product of forty years' experience in handling, training, riding, and driving the Trotting Horse. There is no book like it in any language on the subject of which it treats.... Before we read it, we had seen with curious surprise very hearty commendation of it and eulogy of its author in the leading Presbyterian, Baptist, and Methodist journals. No wonder, for Hiram Woodruff's system is based on the law of love."—N. Y. Tribune
Robert Bonner, who owns the fastest horses in the world, says: "It is a book for which every man who owns a horse ought to subscribe. The information which it contains is worth ten times its cost."
