Biography

John Solomon Rarey worked with horses during the 1860s to advocate for better treatment of the animals. From Rarey, the Horse's Master and Friend, the author Sarah Lowe Brown says his work "gave new vitality to the Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and put a kindlier spirit into the methods of training horses for service in the armies, not only of this country, but also of England and France."
