This three-piece veterinary reference set brings together a 1923 USDA classic, a U.S. Department of Agriculture Farmers’ Bulletin on light horses, and a practical 4-H Horse Science unit.
Together, they show how horse care and training were taught across farms, ranches, and youth programs in the mid-20th century. Inside you’ll find anatomy plates, disease charts, feeding and reproduction basics, and hands-on care tips.

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.
Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
