This image is taken from an old book named “Horses and Hounds” published by George Routledge & Co, in 1858. The actual caption to the image is: “Only three of us showed on the other side.” P.144. From the title page, we also see that the book contains an additional feature on the taming of horses, by the famous American horse tamer, J.S.Rarey. This man literally caused a sensation in Britain by his innate ability to tame horses of even the wildest temperaments, and to do so publicly. Harrison Weir attended a couple of these sessions and we have illustrations by him for the site showing J.S.Rarey at work. All this happened around the same time as this book was being published, so we may be sure that Rarey and Weir were well acquainted and I am sure that Weir, like others would have had many questions for him. Engravings by Dalziel.This book contains only four images and we are pleased to be able to preserve them and make this one available in both an A4 and an A3 sizing option.
