P. R. Kincaid

Best known for a compact 19th-century guide to horse training, this little-known author is remembered almost entirely through a single practical work. The book’s lasting appeal comes from its direct, hands-on interest in handling difficult horses.

About the author

Very little biographical information about P. R. Kincaid could be confirmed from reliable sources consulted here. The name is primarily associated with The Arabian Art of Taming and Training Wild and Vicious Horses, a short work that has been preserved and circulated by public-domain libraries.

Project Gutenberg lists Kincaid as the author of that work, and library records connect it with the year 1856. The book is also linked with John J. Stutzman, suggesting a collaborative or jointly credited publication history.

Because trustworthy personal details are scarce, Kincaid is best understood through the surviving text itself: a practical writer from the mid-19th century whose reputation rests on advice about horse training and control.
