520 _a"The Shire Horse in Peace and War" by J. Albert Frost is a practical guide on the management and breeding of Shire horses, written during the early 20th century. The author draws attention to the historical significance of the Shire horse breed, linking its evolution to both agricultural practices and wartime needs, particularly during World War I. The text serves to educate farmers and horse enthusiasts on shire horse breeding techniques, breeding standards, and the financial aspects related to the care and sale of these animals. The opening of the book establishes its intent to fill a gap in the agricultural literature regarding the Shire horse at a time when war-related topics dominate discussions. Frost humbly acknowledges that while his work may not contain groundbreaking ideas, it aims to provide straightforward, practical advice grounded in his experience as a breeder and exhibitor. He emphasizes the Shire horse's resurgence in importance due to wartime demands, noting that many horses from this breed are actively contributing to military efforts. The preface sets the tone for a blend of historical context, practical breeding guidelines, and insights into the commercial market for Shire horses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
