Tlie Cavalryman's chief weapon is his horse : it must
be the most used and the best kept of all his arms.

All your training, all your excelling in marksmanship
and horsemanship, scouting or drill, is of little use on
service if you have not also mastered, both in theory
and practice, the most important step of all — horse-
mastership.

In this direction a study of Captain Poison's clear
and comprehensive handbook will be a great help.

PREFACE.

Although primarily intended for the use of the
members of that branch of His Majesty's Mounted Forces
to which I have the honour to belong, this little volume
will be found to contain much to interest every person
who desires to claim more than a passing acquaintance
with the horse and his management.

The subject has been dealt with at considerable length
by far abler pens than mine; but, so far as I am aware,
no author has hitherto attempted to produce a work,
which, while disclaiming any pretension to being com-
plete, presents in a condensed form sufficient information
for all practical purposes.

If my efforts have no better result than to stimulate
a desire for further experience, both theoretical and
practical, they will not have proved in vain, and I shall
be well satisfied.

I desire to express my deep gratitude to Lieut. -
General K. S. S. Baden-Powell, C.B., for his courtesy
in perusing the proofs of my work, and for setting upon
it the hall-mark of his generous approval, a distinction
of which I am very proud.

IXTRODLXTIOX.

Horsemen (and by the term I mean men who not only
excel in horsemanship, but who thoroughly understand
horses) are like poets, born and not made; but, for all that,
the average man who tries assiduously to become efficient
in riding, and to know something of horses, can generally
succeed.

It is really astonishing how very few men. and especially
Londoners bred and born, are well acquainted with the
points of the animal. They know, of course, the diflFerence
between a cart nag and a '• cabber." simply because it is
more or less one of bulk or size ; but when it becomes a
question of, say, the difference between a saddle horse and
a carriage horse, they are absolutely at fault ; indeed,
among my own acquaintances (and I know a great many
men who keep horses). I could count on my fingers those
who possess what is called " a good eye for a horse."

Again, there are others who, though they may know a
good looking from a bad looking horse, have not the
slightest idea of what I may call anatomical faults, or those
defects which are known to the horse-dealing fraternity by
the significant term " ifs." Unfortunately, alas! there are
very few horses without an '* if" of some kind or other.

But how is this knowledge to be acquired ? I believe the
best way to proceed is. first, to familiarise the eye by study-
ing photographs of typical horses ; then, by means of critical
observation, compare the horses you meet in your daily
walks with the impression the pictures have created on your
mind ; pull them to pieces, in fact — not literally, of course ;

and it you can get a friend who knows more than yon do
about the subject, get him to assist you whenever oppor-
tunity arises.

A visit to Tattersall's, or any of the other Repositories,
is also of educational value. "Watch the horses as they come
up under the hammer ; note how they move ; observe the
different contour, the different behaviour of each horse ;
and, in short, convince yourself that it is quite as difficult
to find two horses identically alike as it is to find two men.
When you have got as far as this, your kindergarten days
as a horseman have but begun.

Next get to know something al)out the anatomy of the
animal. Everyone knows the head from the tail; but a
horse also possesses withers, shoulders, quarters, hocks,
knees, elbows, forearms, canons, fetlocks, pasterns, hoofs,
etc., and until you get to know the proper formation of
these several parts you cannot spot those malformations, or
blemishes, w^hich may, or may not, be serious, but which,
as indicated above, so few horses are absolutely without.

By studying the accompanying illustration a generally
correct knowledge of the location of the various parts may
be gained, as w^ell as of the seats of several of the " ifs"
above referred to; while a careful and intelligent perusal
of the chapters which follow will enable the novice to lay
in a sufficient store of information, which, together with
such practical experience as he may be able to obtain, will
entitle him to claim to be regarded as one j)ossessing at
least a fair acquaintance with the subject of ""Horses and
Horsemas tership . ' '

Chapter I.

CONFORMATION.

A well-known authority whose work on the Horse has
afforded me many pleasant and profitable hours since
I first made its acquaintance, now many years ago,
states : ''A good horse is an animal with many good, few
indifferent, and no bad points," a dictum with which,
after much experience, I respectfully agree, with this
reservation : I have come across many excellent horses
which were anything but good Jookinf/. I shall be
going as far I feel at liberty to in an elementary treatise
such as this if I endeavour to describe the outward
appearance of a good troop or saddle horse, and at the
same time touch upon some points which detract from
the merits of such an one.

With regard to height : to my mind the most useful
size is 15 hands 2 inches (it seems superfluous to mention
that a "hand" is four inches). A horse of this measure-
ment does not look out of place whether his rider be
tall or short ; but there is a certain amount of the
incongruous about a six-foot man on a 14-hands pony,
or a five-footer on a 16-hands horse. I am also of

S Horses and Horsemastership,

opinion that, generally speaking, the 15.2 horse, take
him all round, presents fewer glaring faults than does
his taller or shorter brothers. By this I mean that if
you take at random a score of horses of the height I
advocate, and a score of 15 hands or of 16 hands, you
will find among your 15.2 horses more animals suitable
for troopers than you will among either of the other
classes jyro rata.

The next thing to be sought is intelligence. Look at
his head : it should be comparatively small and lean, yet
with great width between the eyes, which should be
large and docile looking, and yet conveying an im-
pression of alertness. Tlie mouth should be small, and
the lips thin and well set. The nostrils should be large
and expansive, free from coarse hairs, and, like the lips,
thin. Tlie ears should be in proportion to the head,
neither too small nor too large ; the}' should be carried
rather close together than otherwise, should point for-
ward, and, in conjunction with the eyes, do much to
indicate the horse's character. The head should be well
carried on a moderately long and tapering neck, which,
rising gradually from the withers, ends in a graceful
curve at the occipital bone. Tliis curve or ''crest" should
not be, however, too pronounced, or the proper poise of
the head will be destroyed, and the animal more or less
forced to carry his muzzle inwards towards his chest,

Horses and Horsemastership,

instead of somewhat the other way. The throat should
be clearly defined. The withers (practicall^r the nape
of the neck) lie between and above the shoulders ; they
should be high and muscular. Tlie shoulders should be
long and sloping. The chest broad, as distinct from
round, and of great depth.

The radius (the bone of the leg above the knee) should
be longer than the canon or great metacarpal (the bone
between the knee and the pastern), which should be
flat and broad. The tendons in rear of this bone should
be most marked, well strung, so to speak, and there
should be a distinct groove right from the back of the
knee to the fetlock. The knee should be wide and
almost flat ; the outlines of the bones should be dis-
cernible ; it should convey an idea of powerfulness, and
the bone at the back of the knee should protrude con-
siderably.

The pastern should appear in general proportion to
the whole leg, neither short nor long; it should not be
too sloping, or weakness is indicated ; nor should it be
too upright.

The horse should stand well on his fore legs, which,
viewed from the front, should exhibit practically the
same width between the inner top corners of the knees
as between the fetlock joints. A plumb-line from the
point of the shoulder to the ground should equally

10 Horses and Horsemastership,

divide the knee, shank, jDastern, and hoof. Viewed
from the side, the leg should appear vertical, and not
too much under the body.

The back from the withers to the loins should be
straight and somewhat short ; it must not be, however,
too short. Tlie loins should always be wide and full of
muscle. The croup should be oblique rather than
horizontal, and the haunches should be prominent. The
tail should be set well up on the croup, and carried
jauntily. The horse should be well ribbed up, so that
the flanks do not appear too hollow nor the hips too
prominent. The hind legs are built upon the femur (or
upper thigh bone), the tibia (or lower thigh bone), and
the metatarsal (or shank bone). The hock is situated
between the two latter, and is composed of six small
bones ; but the hock joint proper is at the articulation
of the tibia and that bone of the hock called the astra-
galus. The whole should present an appearance of
rigiditv and strength, even of comparative massiveness.
Tliere should be no sign of puffiness. A plumb-line
from the rear point of the croup should fall either on
the point of the hock or slightly in rear of it, and, if
continued to the ground, the leg from the hock down-
wards should be nearlv perpendicular with it. For if
this be not so, the hock will be either over-straight or
over-bent, both of which are faulty, the former being

Horses and Horsemastership, n

susceptible to excessive concussion, and the latter to
strain. Viewed from behind, the hocks should be
turned neither inwards nor outwards; but if forced to
make a choice between the two, I would prefer a horse
slightly " cow hocked" to one with his hocks turned out.
The foot will be dealt with in the next chapter.

With regard to faults, the reverse of any good points
are in varying degrees objectionable; but in selecting
troop horses, "brushing" (i.e., going too close either in
front or behind), feet turned in or out, speedy cutting,
over-reaching, and all defects of gait are most important
faults.

A hollow or long back, a narrow chest, a short neck,
a clumsy head, legginess, lack of bone, unintelligent
expression, imperfect eyesight or wind, &c., have all to
be taken into account.

The proper way to proceed to sum up a horse is to
look for the bad points and defects. The good points
and qualities can be far more easily found.

Chapter II.

THE FOOT.

" No foot, no horse I" is an old and true sa3^ing. Even a
slight injury to any one of his feet may render the horse
absolutely useless, for the time being at anv rate. Too
much care and attention cannot, therefore, be paid to
them, and it is, accordingly, desirable that every horse-
man should have some knowledge of the construction
of the foot.

Tlie size of a horse's feet ought to be in artistic pro-
portion to the general conformation of the animal. I
personally jDrefer to see the foot, if anything, on the
large side. Tlie fore feet are almost circular in shape,
while the hind rather incline to be oval. They should
be of equal size. The heels should be wide and of the
same height. The horn, or outer wall, should be fairly
smooth and free from grooves. The angle, or slojDe, of
this wall should be about 50 deg. The sole should be
concave, more so in the hind than the front feet. The
frog ought to be very prominent, especially towards the
heels, and well down, its province being to arrest con-
cussion, and the more use it gets the better for the
whole foot.

Horses and Horsemastership. 13

The importance of keeping the feet perfectly clean
cannot be exaooerated. A reference to the illustrations
will convey to the reader's mind a correct idea of the
several parts of which the foot is composed,

FOOT TROUBLES.

The following may be regarded as common occurrences
in connection with the foot : —

CORNS. — Ill-fitting shoes, faulty preparation of the
foot for shoeing, irregular removal of the shoes, over-
work on hard ground, and bruises are the usual causes
of corns ; although some horses are predisposed to them
by reason of some defect in the hoof. If the sole is
examined the horn will appear blood-stained at the seat
of the corn. The shoe should be removed and the horn
pared away carefully. Any matter should be allowed
an outlet. Hot fomentations and poulticing are neces-
sary whenever pain is evident.

The shoe should not be replaced until all lameness
has gone, and then it should be shaped so as to avoid
the injured part.

THRUSH. — The presence of this disease is always
revealed by an offensive smell. Its seat is in the cleft
of the frog. Neglect is the usual cause. Tlie first
thing to be done is to cleanse the foot with some Jeyes'
fluid and water, after which dr^- thoroughly, and apply
frequent dressings of Stockholm tar, being careful to

14 Horses and Horsemastership.

leave none of the crevices unattended to. If not taken
in hand in time, the disease may turn to canker, which
is a most difficult thing to cure.

QUITTOR is one of the most painful things, and does
not lend itself to amateurish treatment. It is the result
of an injury to the hoof, the suppurating matter from
which, in its efforts to escape, makes its way towards
the coronet, or even the heels, forming one or more
sinuses, or channels. A neglected corn will often result
in quittor. The first care should be to discourage the
exit at the coronet by paring the sole well down, so as
to give a free outlet for the discharge. This should be
encouraged to descend by means of bran poultices, after
which the treatment is usually surgical ; but good results
mav follow the probing of the sore once a day with some
cotton wool steeped in crude carbolic acid, until all
discharge has ceased. Professional aid, when obtain-
able, should always be sought.

SAXD-CHACK.— The wall of the hoof is liable to
split, or crack, as the result cf faulty secretion of horn.
It usually occurs in the '■ inner quarter" of the fore hoofs
and the "front" cf the hind ones. When it penetrates
through the horn, and the split nips the sensitive struc-
tures, bleeding and great pain follows. The treatment
consists of rasping down the horn so as to relieve the
pressure. The foot should then be placed in a pail of
warm water for at least an hour, and immediately after-

Horses and Horsemastership. 15

wards a thick bran poultice should be applied. Firing
the horn above the crack and immediately below the
coronet with the application of a blister to the latter,
induces a healthy growth of horn. As soon as lameness
disappears the shoe may be put on, care being taken to
remove a portion of the horn below the crack, so that
the risk of pressure from the shoe becomes minimised.

The crack should be dressed with tow on which a
liberal quantity of Stockholm tar has been smeared, and
this may be kept in position by a bandage. If the lame-
ness continues for more than a few days, the sooner
professional advice is obtained the better.

TREADS are usually caused by the horse turning
round in such a clumsy manner as to place one foot on
top of the other. The coronet is usually the seat of the
injury, and be it borne in mind that all injuries to this
part should be regarded as serious. As in all wounds,
the preliminary cleansing should be thorough, and the
liair on the adjacent skin should be clipped. If the
wound is ragged, all the loose parts are better detached,
and the foot should be placed in a warm water bath.
The creolin lotion, recommended for broken knees, and
applied in the same way, is as good a remedy as can be
used.

SEEDY TOE is the name given to a detachment of
the horn from the lamiuEe at the ground surface of the
wall of the foot. It frequently follows the disease

1 6 Horses and Horsemastership.

known as laminitis, and may result from direct injury
to the parts. The hoof, if lightly tapped, sounds hollow.
All diseased horn should be removed, and a healthier
growth encouraged by blisters to the coronet, and
moisture. If any of the sensitive parts become exposed
they should be dressed with tar and tow until the sound
horn grows.

FOOT, PUNCTUEE OF.— Usually caused by the
farrier when shoeing. A nail is carelesslv driven into
the sensitive parts of the foot, and although the man
may discover and withdraw it at once, the mischief is,
of course, done. If, therefore, your horse shows signs
of lameness, however slight, on his return from the
forge, be sure and have the shoes off and his feet most
carefully examined. I have seen cases of foot puncture
arising from nails being dropped in the street, and on
one occasion a horse belonging to a friend of mine
" picked up" a penknife, the small blade of which
penetrated an inch and a half.

The horny sole must be pared away until the seat of
the injury is reached, so that the discharge can flow away
freely. If this is not done it wall make its w^ay upw^ards
and find an exit at the top of the hoof (coronet), causing
the patient intense pain the while.

Place the injured foot in a big linseed or bran poultice.
Feed on bran mashes, carrots, and the like, and give in
the night mash a double handful of Epsom salts.

Horses and Horsemastership, i7

Kepeat twice. In these and similar cases the bowels
should be kept active, and the temperature as near
normal as possible.

OVER-KEACH is caused by the horse covering more
ground with his hind legs than he ought, and thereby
kicking one or both of the heels of the fore feet.
Kemove the shoe of the injured foot, and stand the foot
in a pail of hot water (about 80 degrees) for an hour or
more, after which apply a bran and linseed poultice.
Subsequently dress the wound with tow steeped in
carbolised lotion, and kept in position by a linen bandage.

The two most serious diseases to which the foot is
subject, viz., navicular disease and laminitis, are
essentially ones for professional treatment ; but there
can be no harm in indicating how their presence may
be diagnosed.

XAVICULAR DISEASE is only found in Hie fore
feet, and is usually the result of excessive work on hard
roads, although bad shoeing, whereby the frog, the
natural cushion of the foot, is prevented from coming
in contact with the ground, is often the primary cause.

The seat of the disease is in the back part of the foot
(the navicular bone). If the sole is tapped with a light
hammer, on either side of the frog, the animal will
evince pain, as he will if the thumb is pressed into the
hollow of the heel.

Horses and Horsemastership,

The affected fcot feels abnormally hot, and the horse
invariably- stands with it pointing cut. as it were, the
heel being raised, and his weight borne by the other
three legs. If both feet are affected he "points'' them
in turn and at frequent intervals.

He will trot short, favouring the heels as much as
possible, and the shoes will bear evidence of the fact by
the unduly worn appearance they present at the toes.
If ridden he will stumble a great deal, and it is with a
weight on his back that the lameness is most apparent.
Going down a hill, when, of course, he can't favour his
heels, is as purgatory to the poor beast.

The disease is more serious than laminitis, and as it
is one for which the operation called neurotomy (i.e.,
unnerving), by which the foot is deprived of sensation,
is practically the only means of enabling the horse to
go sound, it is as well, when purchasing a horse without
a V.S.'s opinion (a thing the novice should never do),
to make sure that the animal has not been so treated,
which can be done by, for instance, a slight pin-prick
above the coronet.

LAMINITIS, which is commonly known as " foot
fever." is an extremely painful disease of the sensitive
laminae, the most frequent cause of which is, as in
navicular disease, excessive work on hard ground,
although it may also arise from improper feeding, want
of regular exercise, etc. In this disease the horse, when

Horses and Horsemastership. 19

standing, will endeavour to favour his toes by throwing
his weight on the heels. All four feet ma}^ be involved,
but it is usually the fore ones which are affected. The
pulse is greatly accelerated, and the breathing appears,
laboured.

The animal shows a disinclination to move, and in
very severe cases he will be found lying down, and can
only be got up with the greatest difficulty. The hoofs
feel very hot, and, indeed, the whole appearance of the
animal indicates the great pain he suffers.

The outer wall develops a series of irregular rings or
grooves; in fact, the whole hoof may be thrown out of
shape. The horse trots on his heels in a most palpable
fashion, and the knee action becomes impaired.

This disease is a common source of '" Seedy Toe."

In all cases of lameness, when the trouble is either
in the feet or the fetlock joints, the shoe or shoes should
be removed.

SHOEING.

When the old shoe is removed any excessive downward
growth of the wall should be rasped away from the
ground surface of the foot until, as stated elsewhere,
the angle of the hoof approximates 50 deg. Under no
circumstances should the rasp be applied to the outer
surface of the wall when healthy. The excess of growth
is usually at the toe. The sole and frog should be left
severely alone, and if I had my way the farrier's instru-

^o Horses and Horsemastership.

ment, known as a drawing knife, would be abolished,
for the misuse of it is a fertile source of evil, and the
average farrier seems to take a pride in '• trimming"' a
horse's foot, either wilfull)^ or in ignorance of the mis-
chief which may supervene. The ground surface of the wall
should be rasped absolutely level, for if one side of the
foot be at all higher than the other discomfort must
ensue. There is no real necessity for the old habit of
fitting the shoe to the foot by burning down the horn
with it. The shoe should fit full all round the circum-
ference and project slightly beyond the heels. In nail-
ing it on care should be taken to avoid the sensitive
parts by keeping outside the line of white horn which
marks the union of the laminae with the wall. The
nails should pierce the outer surface of the wall about
an inch from the ground surface, and should be
driven home more firmly at the toe than the
heel, particularly the inside heel. The clinches should
be laid as flat as possible, and with the least assistance
from the rasp. Calkings are quite unnecessary if the
frog is allowed to fulfil its proper mission. The shoes
should be removed at least once a month. It is hardly
necessary for me to add that owing to its great im-
portance this subject might very well occupy several
chapters. It is essentially one of the things which every
horseman ought to endeavour to become practically
acquainted with.

Chapter III.

COMMON DEFECTS : HOW TO RECOGNISE
AND TREAT THEM.

CUIIB is situated some four or five inches below the
point of the hock. If you stand facing the outside of
the horse's hind leg you'll observe that, instead of the
line from the point of the hock downwards being straight,
there is a marked protuberance in the region referred
tc. It is caused by a sprain of one or other of the
ligaments, and once there, although the lameness which
originally resulted may never recur, the blemish always
remains. Curb is treated by blistering (biniodide of
mercury one part, lard seven parts), or in the more
severe cases by firing. It is evidence of weakness of the
hock.

CAPPED HOCK may be detected in the same way
as curb. It is a swelling on the point of the hock, and
is usually the result of kicking or a blow. It is hardly
an unsoundness, but it is unsightly, and extremely
difficult to reduce if any delay occurs before treatment,
which consists of fomentations, followed by vigorous
and frequent hand rubbing and the application of arnica.
In a dav or two iodine may be painted on.

22 Horses and Horsemastership.

SPAVIN is an exostosis or bony excrescence situated
on the inner and lower aspect of the hock. The ten-
dency to this trouble is increased b}^ any peculiarity or
defective conformation in the structure of the joint.

By reason of the defective conformation any undue
pressure, or concussion, or sprain of the ligaments,
usually results in the formation of spavin. As a rule,
the more visible the spavin the less important it is, but
a spavined horse should always be eyed with suspicion.

The treatment in the primary stage, when lameness
supervenes, is absolute rest in a loose box. In this, as
in all troubles involving the formation of bony deposits,
it is a great mistake to tie a horse up in a stall, except,
of course, during the active stage of blistering, when if
the horse were allowed to have his freedom great danger
would be run of his gnawing at the blistered part, and
of the blistering agent getting into his mouth, or even
eyes.

The hock should be subjected to the influence of cold
water, applied by means of a hose pipe, several times a
day until the inflammation subsides. If, after a week
of such treatment, the lameness still exists, then the
more drastic action of a stiff blister must be resorted to.
If that fails, firing will have to be done.

In examining a horse for spavin the hocks should be
closely compared the one with the other, and if any
difference is apparent, steps should be taken to ascertain

Horses and Horsemastership. 23

whether the enlargement which has been detected is of
a bony nature. Recollect that the seat of spavin is
usually on the inside of the hock, below the joint and
well to the front. It is, however, quite possible for a
horse to be afflicted with spavin without showing much
visible signs ; such cases are usually of the worst descrip-
tion. It does not by any means follow that a horse
exhibiting spavins is a useless animal. It is entirely a
question of degree.

SPLINT. — The origin of splint is pretty much the
same as spavin. It is an exostosis, and usually forms
on the inside of the canon bone, nearer the knee than
the fetlock. Its importance entirely depends on its
position. A splint which is well forward, and away
from the knee, is of small moment, but it may be so
placed as to interfere with the tendons, and consequently
subject the animal to recurrent lameness.

A splint rarely appears on the hind legs. It is a
curious fact that whereas spavin lameness becomes less
apparent (for the time being) if the horse is subjected
to exercise, splint lameness becomes accentuated.

There is no difficulty in finding a splint when w^ell
forward, simply because a glance at the canon bone
reveals it at once, but as the larger splints are usually
fully formed, a horse need not be rejected or trouble
with him from that cause be anticipated, provided, as
stated abcve. the protuberance is net in a position

24 Horses and Horsemastership

likelv to cause lameness. It is, however, in the detec-
tion of a splint which has just commenced to form, and
which as vet exhibits no objective sign, that one's
experience is tested. It must be borne in mind that in
the majority of cases the horse may walk to all appear-
ance quite sound, and yet trot "dead lame."' That is
usually a sure indication of splint trouble. But to
locate it. get an assistant to hold up the leg opposite the
suspected one, so that the horse is obliged to brace the
tendons of the latter. Pass the first and second finger
carefully along the groove formed by the inner small
metacarpal and the canon bones, and if the least
irregularitv or unevenness is revealed to the touchy
there, in all probability, is the splint.

As the cause and effect are similar to those of spavin,
so must the treatment be. Rest and cold application
in the first place, followed by severer measures if these
fail. A sweating bandage is greatly favoured by some.
An crdinarv linen bandage is soaked in ice-cold water
and placed on the leg: this is covered with oiled silk,
and this in turn with an ordinary woollen bandage. It
is a peculiarity of all bony deposits that they decrease
in size as the animal increases in age.

EIXGBOXE is the name given to a bony deposit
which, from similar causes to spavin and splint, may
form on the pastern bone, and involvins: either the
jDastern cr coffin joints. If the deposit affects the bones

Horses and Horsemastership. 25

without involving the joints, it is called "false ringbone."
Ringbone is most frequently confined to the hind
pasterns, and it is principally found in heavy types of
horses.

If both pasterns are affected, the horse is not suitable
for hard work, and, personally, I would rather risk
buying a horse with spavins about which there was a
doubt than one with ringbones.

SIDEBONE is ossification of the lateral cartilages
of the foot, and arises as the result of a knock or wound,
as well as from concussion.

Cart horses are more frequently affected than those
of a lighter breed, and, indeed, the latter do not
frequently suffer from it : at the same time it is a
disease which is more detrimental to a light horse than
a heavy one. Sidebone usually occurs in the fore feet,
and it can be easily detected by pressure.

If instead of a springy elastic feeling the lateral
cartilages are hard and irresponsive to the touch, there
is trouble. As in all osseous formations, it is rarely
possible to do more than endeavour to arrest the process
of ossification, and in the present state of veterinary
surgical knowledge that is an almost hopeless task.
The trouble is best dealt with bv an operation, which in
uncomplicated cases is invariably successful ; so the
sooner the animal receives professional attention the
better.

Chapter IY

SOME AILMENTS AND THEIR TREATMENT

Every horseman ought to be able to treat his horse
for simple mishaps, such as galls, caused by ill-fitting
saddlery, cracked heels, slight flesh wounds, &c., and in
more serious cases be able to give the animal temporary
relief pending the veterinary surgeon's arrival. The
following are those most likely to be met with : —

ANUS, PROTEUSION OF.— Usually caused by
straining. Tlie part must be cleaned and carefully
pressed back. Afterwards use gallic acid ointment
freely.

COLIC (Pain in the Stomach). — Simple colic is not
dangerous. Tlie horse keeps turning his head towards
his sides, occasionally snapping at them, and frequently
endeavours to kick his belly ; the pains come and go,
and when severe cause sweating. Drinking verv cold
w'ater when over-heated, undesirable food, worms, and
constipation are among the causes. Give turpentine,
J ounce; tincture of ginger, 1 ounce; linseed oil, 12
ounces. Half a pint of whiskey val\ often give relief.

Horses and Horsemastership. 27

Haud-rubbing is always good, so is steady walking. If
you are sure the cause is constipation, give a purge in
the form of a ball containing six drachms of aloes, and
keep the horse walking about for an hour.

Occasionally colic assumes a flatulent form owing to
the accumulation of gas in the stomach, which becomes
distended. The vet. should be sought at once. As a
temporary measure, 2 ounces of turpentine mixed in a
pint of linseed oil is the treatment.

INFLAMMATION OF THE BOWELS may be recog-
nised if, in addition to the symptoms of colic, the horse
exhibits a pinched, anxious expression, accompanied by
febrile disturbance (including, of course, an increased
pulse), coldness of the extremities, and continuous, as
distinct from intermittent, pain. It is a disease which
frequently proves fatal, and in many cases the end comes
very rapidly ; therefore it is imperative to seek pro-
fessional aid without delay. All the amateur can do
is to endeavour to get the bowels to act, and to assuage
the pain. For the latter purpose the following prescrip-
tion is one of the best : —

Sweet spirit of nitre ... 1 ounce.

Chloric ether ... ... 5 ounce.

Tincture of belladonna ... 2 drachms.

Chlorodyne ... ... i ounce.

Tincture of capsicum ... 3 drachms.

Tincture of ginger ... 3 drachms.

Water ... ... ... 5 pint.

28 Horses and Horsemastership,

Mix well and administer at once. Repeat in two or
three hours if necessary.

Hand-rubbing is useless, but hot fomentations in the
form of blankets soaked in boiling water, rung out, and
applied to the stomach are useful.

DIARRHCEA arises from a variety of causes, among
which may be mentioned sudden changes of food, ex-
posure, too much green meat, worms, (fee.

Give in a pint of gniel powdered opium 1 drachm,
prepared chalk 1 oz., powdered catechu 1 drachm. Keep
the patient warm by means of rugs and bandages.

EYES. — Horses occasionally suffer from the eyelids
becoming inflamed (conjunctivitis), causing the lids to
close partially, and in severe cases the whole of the
mucous membrane lining the lids becomes involved.
Not infrequently the eye itself becomes quite opaque^
and presents to the novice an alarming appearance.

Some horses are always liable to these attacks (re-
current ophthalmia) if they are subjected to inclement
weather, draughts, and the like, but more often the
trouble is caused by some foreign substance, such as a
hay-seed lodging in the eyelid ; therefore the eye should be
carefully examined the moment the symptoms manifest
themselves, and if anv direct cause is discovered it
should be, of course, removed. The horse should be
kept in a darkened stable, and the affected eye carefully

Horses and Horsemastershrp, 29

bathed every hour with boric lotion, to which a little
cocaine may be added. A drop or two of castor oil
between the lids is soothing. As the inflammation
subsides, the eye itself will become clear, and gradually
assume its normal appearance.

It is said that in recurrent ophthalmia every attack
leaves the sight weaker, and generally results in blind-
ness.

G-ALLS are, as a rule, caused by ill-fitting saddlery,
bad riding, arc. A predisposing cause is the bad habit
of removing the saddle before the horse has quite cooled
down. Make it a golden rule on returning from a ride
to loosen the girths, and raise the saddle for a moment,
but never take it off so long as the back is at all wet.

As soon as you have off-saddled, carefully look over
your horse, and if any lumps (warbles) are found, or if
there be any abrasions, the saddlery should be examined
to see if the trouble can be attributed to any defect
therein. If such is discovered it should be remedied at
once.

Tlie treatment of the gall itself consists of a liberal
application of the lotion recommended for cracked heels.
WTiere there is much swelling I believe in the free use
of cold water. A tablespoonful of salt in a pint of water
is a useful fall-back if the other lotion cannot be
obtained.

30 Horses and Horsemastership,

SITFAST is the name given to an intractable lump,
or Avarble, arising as above described. As a rule, a sit-
fast only yields to a surgical operation, the resultant
wound being stimulated, if necessary, into healthy granu-
lation, when it will heal up, leaving, of course, a slight
scar.

FISTULOUS WITHERS is apt to follow the neglect
of any swelling of the withers caused by an ill-fitting
saddle. If taken in time and the same treatment as for
galls is applied, the trouble will quickly disappear;
otherwise an attempt must be made to reduce the in-
flammation by means of frequent fomentations. If this-
fails, it may be concluded that pus is forming, and an
extensive opening must be made with a lancet to enable
it to escape. This opening should always be at the
lowest, edge of the swelling, so that drainage may be
effective, and the wound should be kept open by means
of a wedge of tow smeared with oil of turpentine 1 part>
olive oil 4 parts, so long as any discharge is going on.
Unless the pus is got away it will form sinuses among
the muscles, &c., and a typical case of fistulous withers
then exists which is beyond amateur treatment.

BROKEN KNEES are invariably caused by the horse
coming down, and are severe or slight according to the
depth of the actual wound. If the skin is not broken
vou cannot do better than bathe well with hot water.

Horses and Horsemastership, 31

and put on a loose bandage, which keep saturated with
a solution of arnica. Do not let the horse lie down.
If the skin is broken lose no time in thoroughly cleansing
it of any grit, always remembering that the least
particle might, if not removed, cause serious com-
plications. Use warm, not cold, water for the purpose,
and if a little Condy's or Jeyes' fluid can be added so
much the better. Dress the wound with some tow
saturated in creolin 4 drachms, cold water 1 quart (an
excellent antiseptic for all wounds), and kept in position
by a bandage. The wound will be all the better for
being bathed with the lotion twice a day. Feed on
mashes. Keep the horse racked up.

In bad cases the veterinary surgeon may have to
put in some stitches, and in the most serious cases the
joint may be involved.

NOSTHILS BLEEDING may be checked by syringing
with warm and cold water alternately.

PNEUMONIA. — There is one form of pneumonia
which I feel I ought to refer to, because it occasionally
attacks a horse which has been subjected to violent work
before he has been properly prepared for it. The attack
is quite sudden, and may come on in the field.

The victim comes to an abrupt standstill, breathes
rapidly, and has a pulse of about 100 a minute. The
flanks heave, the body becomes cold, and the face ex-
presses pain.

32 Horses and Horsemastership.

If there's a breeze turn his head towards it. Take
the saddle off. Vigorously hand-rub the legs and ears,
and give half a pint of whiskey in an equal quantity of
water.

The veterinary surgeon will probably bleed the horse
to the extent of 3 or 4 quarts of blood.

LAMPAS. — Sometimes a horse, and particularly a
young one, will go '' off his feed*' without any apparent
reason. Before the corn is offered to him he will display
the usual anxiety to get at it; but when he gets it,
instead of eating it, he will take up a mouthful and
reject nearly all of it, and eventually give up the
attempt. If you open his mouth and examine the
palate you will find that the anterior of it is down
below the biting edge of his teeth. Tliis is the result of
inflammation, and the consequent soreness prevents the
horse from eating. In young horses it is usually due to
the natural process of dentition, and in older ones,
where such cannot be the cause, it probably arises from
some stomachic trouble.

Tlie treatment is simply palliative : Keep the horse
on soft food, such as bran mashes, and give him a dose
of Epsom salts (J to h lb.). He should be able to eat
corn again in three or four days. Scarifying the palate
gives immediate relief, but the trouble is of such a
temporary nature that such a drastic remedy is scarcely
justified.

Horses and Horsemastership. 33

SPRAINS of either the muscles cr tendons may
usually be diagnosed if the injured part feels unduly
hot and exhibits swelling. The horse walks or moves
in evident pain. Apply, as a cooling lotion arnica
(tincture, of) 2 ounces, water 1 pint. Even pressure is
required, and this is best obtained by using cotton wool
and a fairly tight bandage. The lotion can then be
poured into the wool without removing the bandage,
about five times a day, or so frequently as never to let
it become dry. In a day or two the heat will have gone,
then rub in plenty of Elliman's embrocation twice daily.
In more serious cases a blister may be found necessary.
Rest plays the most important part in cases of sprain,
so the less the horse is moved about the better.

STRINGHALT is the name given to an extravagant
jerky action of one or both hind legs, which I am sure
my readers must have frequently noticed some horses
exhibit. It doesn't seem to interfere with the animal,
though it is, as a rule, more apparent after a period of
rest and decreases during exercise. Nobody seems to
be able to account for it, nor has any remedy been
discovered.

SWELLED LEGS. — Sometimes on going into the
stable in the mornino' it will be observed that one or

o

both hind legs are "'filled" without any apparent cause,
such as a wound or a strain due to kicking, to account

34 Horses and Horsemastership.

for it; indeed, so far from there being abnormal heat,
the warmth of the limb will probably be subnormal.
The trouble is due to an effusion of serum into the limb,
arising from imperfect action of the kidneys, Arc, which
may be caused by improper feeding — the error, as a rule,
being on the too liberal side — want of regular exercise,
and so on. In minor cases the swelling will disappear
on the horse being exercised, which has the effect of
restoring the vitality of the absorbents, but where the
trouble arises from debility a course of tonic
medicine may be necessary. In any event a mild
diuretic, such as an ounce of nitre in a mash at night,
should be given, and horses which are predisposed to the
trouble should always have their legs bandaged.

URIXE, RETENTION OF.— Horses, on returning
from the day's outing, always should be encouraged to
stale (i.e., pass water). Many horses will not stale
while out at work, and if the dav has been a long one
the bladder may have become over-distended and in-
flammation set up. The horse may display restlessness
and anxiety, and now and then will stand stretched out
as if trying to relieve himself.

In minor cases the shaking about of fresh straw under
him, hand-rubbing of the belly, or the hand passed
through the anus, and gentle pressure on the fundus of
the bladder (which can be quite plainly felt), may bring

Horses and Horsemastership. 35

about the desired result; but, in any event, it is always
safest not to delay requisitioning professional advice for
long. The trouble may arise from several causes besides
that mentioned above, and an immediate operation may
be necessary.

URINE, INCONTINENCE OF, may be brought
about by the indiscriminate use of diuretics, either
directly as medicine intended to act on the kidneys, or
unwittinglv in the form of condition balls or powders,
most of which contain ingredients which have an irritat-
ing effect on those organs. Mow-burnt, or mouldy, hay,
and kiln-dried oats are also likely to set up the mischief.
In addition to the frequent passing of water, the horse
will display an inordinate thirst, and will neglect his
food if this is not freely gratified. Tlie digestive organs
are impaired and the bowels inactive. The strength
rapidly decreases, so that even slight exercise results in
sweating. Where the trouble can be traced to bad
forage the remedy is, of course, clear; but, in any
event, a change of diet is desirable. Linseed tea should
be offered instead of water, but if the horse refuses this
he should be watered from, a river or a clean pond ;
while one drachm of iodide of iron every day for a week
will have a beneficial effect.

WOUNDS may be either incised (clean cut), punctured
(stabbed), cr lacerated (torn). The seriousness of a

36 Horses and Horsemastership.

wound depends rather on its situation than otherwise.
Fcr instance, a huge wound, which would present an
alarming appearance to a novice, might not be nearly
so serious as a small wound on the coronet.

All chest and belly wounds are liable to complications,
and the most trivial wound of the foot has to be care-
fully watched.

One of the important things to be done in connection
with wounds is to arrest the bleeding, and this is simple
enough except w^here an injured artery is involved, when
it may require to be tied. As a rule, how'ever, the
application of some such styptic as Friar's balsam proves
effective.

The hcemorrhage from wounds in the limbs can in
most instances be arrested by a tourniquet (a hastily
improvised one may be made with a handkerchief and
a piece of stick) placed on the limb above or below the
wound, as may be required. When an artery has been
severed or ruptured, the blood will be of a bright scarlet
colour, and spurting, and the tourniquet should be
above the injury ; but if the blood is of a dark colour
and flows evenly, then the veins only are implicated,
and the tourniquet should be below the wound.

Care should be taken to remove all dirt, and where
the bleeding is not really alarming (it is astonishing
how much blood a horse can safely lose) this should be

Horses and Horsemastership. 37

the first care. Lukewarm water squeezed from a sponge
held above the wound will wash away any foreign sub-
stances. The sjDonge should not be allowed to touch
the wound.

A simple incised wound requires but little attention
after the bleeding has been stopped. The edges must
be brought together, and, if necessary, kept in position
by stitching. I have seen an ordinary pin passed
through the skin of each edge and a hair from the horse's
tail wound over it as a sailor would wind a rop€ on a
belay ing-pin. Union was accomplished in a few days,
the pin withdrawn, and the horse was at work in a
week.

Punctures are more troublesome. The simple ones
do best if transformed by the aid of the knife into
incised wounds. By this means the discharge is given
a chance of escape and the healing process becomes
facilitated. In the serious cases the puncture may have
penetrated a joint or the covering of a tendon.

Lacerated wounds require careful attention, and
usually take longer to heal than either of the former.
They bleed but little. Having carefully cleansed the
wounds as above directed, any jagged edges must be
replaced as carefully as possible. At the same time,
the great thing to remember is that wounds of this
description must not be allowed to close until it is

38 Horses and Horsemastership.

apparent that the deep parts are healed by the natural
process of granulation. The wound should be kept
covered with wet lint, and may be bathed with very
weak Condy's occasionally. If a hard scab forms it
must be removed by fomentation, or even poulticing.

Unless the wounds are of a serious character, it will
rarely be necessary to interfere w^ith the horse's usual
■diet, but it is always safe to give a dose of cooling
medicine, and in bad cases corn must be stojoped and
the animal put on mashes, carrots, and the like.

COLDS AND COUGHS.— The same causes which
produce colds and coughs in mankind are most frequently
the origin of similar complaints in the horse — lack cf
proper ventilation, the presence of draughts, and in-
attention to sanitary and hygienic arrangements
generally ; standing about and catching chills when
heated, coming in contact with contagion, and so on.
A cold which, if taken in hand at once, would quickly
disappear, may, through neglect, develop into serious
bronchial or pulmonary trouble. It is therefore
important to be able to recognise the first symptoms of
cold, and to know the necessary treatment to pursue in
endeavouring to arrest its course. In common cold the
lining of the nostrils becomes inflamed, and a rise in
temperature may take place. An examination of the
eyes and the nose will usuallv reveal the fact that the

Horses and Horsemastership. 39

Jiuing membranes, instead of presenting the normal pink
colour, look decidedly red. Sneezing will occur; the
nose will discharge ; the eyes appear watery, and the
cough will sound hard and dry. The action of the
bowels will in some cases be impaired, and the animal
will droop his head and present a '" sorry for himself"
sort of appearance. The inflammation may either begin
in the throat or extend to it. Horses coming off grass
are peculiarly apt to catch cold, and mainly because of
the pernicious habit, due to ignorance, of not providing
for the freest ingress of fresh air into the stables. I
have never known a horse to catch cold on being turned
out to grass.

The treatment in the incipient stages is isolation in
a thoroughly ventilated loose box, and good nursing (see
Nursing). Corn and hay must be stopped, and warm
mashes and green-meat substituted. The body and legs
will require to be kept warm. An ounce of powdered
nitre in the night mash — preferably a linseed mash —
wall counteract the feverish symptoms, and this may be
repeated twice or three times if necessary. When con-
stipation is present the safest medicine is two ounces of
sulphate of magnesia night and morning. This can bo
given in the food. Purgative medicine should never be
resorted to in such cases.

When the throat is evidently very sore, the indications
cf which are abnormal heat of the mouth, difficult v in

40 Horses and Horsemastership.

swallcAvino- cVc, a good rubbiiio with some stimulatino-
liniment, or a mild blister made of two pennyworth of
hartshorn and one pennyworth of Enssian tallow, should
prove effective.

If in a few days, or a week at the outside, the patient
is not rapidly recovering, or should more serious symp-
toms present themselves, professional advice should be
sought without delay.

As the patient throws off the cold his corn and hay
may gradually be resumed, and as his strength becomes
re-established he mav be steadilv exercised, and so
brcuoht back bv deorees to his usual work.

RHEUMATISM is not of very common occurrence
in well-cared horses, but it is none the less a trouble-
some disease, and one which is very apt to recur. It is
usually the joints which are attacked, but the muscles
of the shoulders, loins, and quarters occasionally suffer.
The acute form of the disease may be recognised by its
peculiar habit of shifting about from one part to another.
For instance, it mav appear in one limb, and in a few
hours it may have disappeared and be found in another.
It frequently attacks its victim quite suddenly when at
work, causing severe lameness, so that one would
imagine the animal to have received a sprain, or to have
picked up a stone. When the joints are affected there
is the usual local evidence of inflammation and febrile

disturbance of the system. This is not so much the
case in the muscular form. The treatment consists of
frequent hot fomentations, after which the part should
be thoroughly dried and well rubbed with a strong
liniment. Flannel bandages on the limbs and extra
warm clothing on the body are essential. One ounce
of bicarbonate of soda daily, and an ounce of nitre in
the night mash, the usual laxative diet, and good
nursing will usually prove effective.

Chapter V.

SKIN TROUBLES.

The horse is cccasionally the subject of diseases of the
skin, but in almost every case the origin can be traced
to neglect of some sort.

CRACKED HEELS arise, as a rule, from inattention
in the matter of thoroughly drying the hollow of the
heels, either after the legs have been washed or afte:
the horse has sweated freely. A predisposing caus(;
may be a disordered stomach; but there is really no
excuse for them. The hind heels are more frequently
affected. On the first appearance of any rawness,
regular washing with a weak solution of Jeyes" fluid and
a dose of cooling medicine will usually prove efltective.
The application of a little zinc ointment is also beneficial,
and so long as the animal is not lame work wont hurt
him, provided the heels are properly attended to on his
return to the stables. But should the sore prove in-
dolent, and if there is much heat and inflammation, he

will require to be rested and linseed poultices applied,

and when these symptoms are abated a lotion composed

of

Sugar of lead ... ... 2 ,,

Water ... ... ... 1 quart

should be used four or five times a day. A horse which
has once suffered is liable to a recurrence of the com-
plaint, and therefore requires all the more care.

GREASE is practically an advanced stage of neglected
cracked heels, the skin of the pasterns becoming in-
volved, extending up the legs, which in bad cases
become alarmingly swollen. Tlie first signs of this
disease are considerable local irritation, as evidenced by
stamping, and this is usually followed by the swelling
of one or both legs, and the appearance on the hair of
the heels of the oil-like discharge which the skin exudes.
In the advanced stage malignant ulcers form, and these
oive off an offensive discharsje.

If taken in time the disease yields to such simple treat-
ment as a stiff dose of Epsom salts, liberal fomentation,
and linseed poulticing to subdue the inflammatory
symptoms, followed by a plentiful application of
carbolised oil. Needless to say, the diet will consist of
laxative food, such as mashes, kc, and good nursing is
verv important.

44 Horses and Horsemastership.

iMAXGE, if once allowed to become firmly estab-
lished, is a most loathsome disease, known to the horsey
fraternity as " the dook" (duke), and is due to a micro-
scopical insect finding a congenial habitat on the skin
cf a neglected, improperly groomed horse. It is un-
pardonable evidence of laziness and incompetence on the
part of the person responsible. It usually appears in
the mane and tail, and if not promptly checked the
whole of the skin becomes covered with ecrustations,
which, when rubbed off by the animars efforts to obtain
relief, leave ugly-looking sores.

The first thins: to do is to destrov the insect life. The
animal should be dressed all over with a solution of
carbolic acid in the proportion of one ounce to a quart
cf water, one application of which left on for a couple
of days is. as a rule, sufficient. Tlie horse should then
be washed all over with a weak solution of Jeyes' fluid
as an additional precaution, and so long as any itchiness
continues the treatment should be repeated. The con-
stitution must be built up by good food, and a liberal
supply of green-meat given to keep the blood cool.
Occasional linseed mashes exercise a beneficial effect on
the skin and coat.

Everv article of clothing, saddlery, brushes, Arc,
should be thoroughlv cleansed, either by boiling,
sponging with paraffin, or soaking in Jeyes' fluid. The

Horses and Horsemastership. 45

stable should be thoroughly scrubbed out, and the
bedding should be burned. Mange is highly contagious,
so every precaution should be adopted to minimise the
risk of the disease spreading,

MUD-FEVER arises from the same causes, and is
analogous to cracked heels and grease. It is often seen
on the inside of the thighs and on the belly. Horses
which are subject to it should never have their legs
clipped, and water should not be used for removing the
accumulated mud after exercise. A scraper to take off
the wet mud, a subsequent thorough brushing with the
dandy, and rubbing with the hand will go a long way
towards minimising the risk of the animal being
troubled with this complaint. When present the skin
feels rough, hot, and inflamed, and the hair stares.

The treatment consists of cooling medicine, laxative
food, and the application of a mixture of one part
Foulard's extract to four of olive oil.

RINGWORM is not, as its name infers, due to an
animal organism, but to a fungoid growth which sets
up an inflamed condition of the skin and destroys the
hairs, which fall off, leaving bare, circular patches of
an unsightly appearance. If taken in time, a simple
remedy is a dressing of Stockholm tar, or even sulphur
ointment; but if the disease is intractive proceed as for
mange. A change of food is necessary, for the trouble
is as often due to bad forage as it is to bad grooming.

4^ Horses and Horseinastership.

AVARTS are both unsightly and (if they are allowed
to reach large dimensions) troublesome, especially if they
form on any part where the saddlery is apt to come in
contact with them. The)^ usually appear on the parts
where the skin is thinnest. Their origin is obscure.
The application to the surface, which has been previously
prepared by abrasion, of chloride of zinc will remove-
small warts ; or, if the neck is not large, a ligature tied
tightly round it will cause it to wither and fall off.
Large warts are, however, objects for the surgical skill
of a professional man.

Chaptee VI.

1. GLANDERS AND FARCY.

2. STRANGLES,

Of all the maladies to which the equine race is subject,
none are more dreaded than the two forms of the same
disease which is described as glanders if it affects the
interior of the animal, and farcy if the exterior.
Whereas glanders usually appears in or about the region
of the head, farcy may appear in any part.

The absorbent system is the seat of the disease, and
it is possible for an animal to have it in a latent form
for a considerable time before the objective symptoms
appear. Fortunately, however, a test, which has
proved of the utmost value, was discovered some years
ago, the application of which produces unmistakable
evidence as to whether or not the disease is present in
its incipient form. Probabh- one of these days the
periodical application of this test by regularly-appointed
Government officials may be made compulsory, especially
where studs are kept, a step which would, undoubtedly,
tend towards the eradication of this fearsome scourge.
Like most other diseases, it finds its victims more easily

4^ Horses and Horsemastership.

among aDimals that have been improperl)^ cared ; but
so contagious is it that even healthy horses may become
infected by drinking from the same vessel as a glandered
animal, or by any of the numerous other ways in which
disease is spread. It is, moreover, communicable to
man, so that attendants upon horses suffering from the
disease should exercise the utmost care.

The symptoms of glanders are so marked that very
little experience is necessary to enable even an amateur
to diagTiose a case. It will be noticed that one of the
nostrils, usually the left, is discharging a watery fluid,
which changes to a gluev consistency, and adheres to
the nostrils. This discharge is not necessarily confined
to one nostril, although it is most frequently so. The
submaxillary gland on the same side will be found to
be swollen, and a hard, painless lump about the size of
a walnut can be plainly felt in the centre of the gland
(i.e., between the branches of the lower jaw. Tlie
lining membrane of the nose assumes a dull purple
colour, and most probably ulcers will be visible, though
it occasionally happens that the sores are too high up
the nasal cavity to be seen. But their presence can
easily be determined by passing a twig, with some cotton
wool wound round the tip, up the nostril. The wool,
when withdrawn, will be found covered with a blood-
stained gleet.

Horses and Horsemastership. 49

The three certain symptoms are, therefore, (1) the
ghiey discharge, (2) the ulcerated nostril, and (3) the
hard lump, and as they are always present at the same
time it is not easy to make a false diagnosis.

FARCY first shows itself in the form of exterior
swellings, which rapidly change into a series of "' knots"
with distinct cords running in different directions from
them. The knots, in turn, become discharging ulcers of
a malignant and offensive type, and as the disease runs
its course these may break out all over the body. Farcy
usually makes its appearance in the hind quarters, gener-
ally in the legs; but, as before stated, it may break out
on any part of the animal. In its virulent form the
interior absorbents mav become involved (glanders), in
which event death quickly ensues.

A glandered horse should be destroyed, and the car-
case buried, but naturally this would only be done after
a veterinary surgeon had pronounced upon the case. Of
course, everything with which the animal had been in
contact, the stable, &c., &c., should be most rigorously
disinfected.

STRANGLES is a disease confined to young horses,
and for this reason it used to be regarded as being
associated with dentition troubles. It seems, however,
to be a form of distemper, akin to that found in the
dog, though with certain distinctive features which

50 Horses and Horsemastership.

entitle it to be classed as essentially an equine com-
plaint. The opinion of many pathologists is that the
disease never appears spontaneously ; that, in short, it
is the result of contagion. It undoubtedly is a most
•contagious disease, but in my humble opinion it is quite
possible for an animal to suffer from an attack of
strangles who has never been exposed to even a remote
risk of infection. I believe that it is a means adopted
by nature to remedy a certain form of disordered
system, and, such being the case, that it does occasion-
ally appear of its own accord. The symptoms of
strangles at the commencement are similar to those of a
feverish cold. The horse goes off his food, is dull and
listless ; nasal catarrh appears, and, as the throat be-
comes involved, he will cough. Subsequently the glands
about the throat become swollen and very tender to the
touch ; difficulty in swallowing is apparent ; the breath-
ing is usually laboured, and in from a week to ten days
the large abscess which has been gradually forming will
either have burst of its own accord, or will be ripe for
lancing, whereupon the utmost relief is experienced, and
the patient rapidly becomes convalescent. If the disease
runs such a normal course as above indicated it is a
matter for congratulation ; but occasionally the attack
is much more severe, and the risk of suffocation, owing
to the tumour pressing upon the windpipe, may become

so imminent as to render tracheotomy imperative. Nor
is the formation of the tumour necessarily confined to
the glands in the region of the throat, for cases have
cccurred where it has been discovered, not only in in-
ternal glandular structures, but even apart from these
altogether. Fortunately, however, such cases are the
exception, not the rule.

Although I have known of cases of strangles occurring
in young horses at grass, there can be no doubt that
the time it is most apt to occur is when they are first
put into training, or when they are brought up from
country to town stables, indicating the necessity for the
exercise of unusual care both as to diet and good stable
management en such occasions. The change from grass
to the ordinary stable rations should be brought about
gradually, and the old-fashioned and salutary rule of
always giving a horse fresh from pasture a purgative
ball has much to commend it. Nor should a young
horse be stabled with others until he has been first
seasoned in a loose box, the half door of which should
be left open day and night, a rule which should be
observed as far as possible even in the case of old animals
when brought up from grass.

As to the necessary treatment of the complaint, good
nursing is the first consideration (see Nursing), and,
bearing in mind that the disease invariably runs a

52 Horses and Horsemastership.

specific course, attention must be directed to assisting
towards that end, for any attempt to check it is sure to
result in serious trouble; indeed, I think I am safe in
stating that many a case has been changed from its
normal course and become virulent by misguided treat-
ment in the direction indicated. The usual laxative,
nourishins: diet referred to in the notes on Xursins; must
be given. Good grass, freshly cut, when obtainable, or,
in its absence, carrots sliced lengthways, will be appre-
ciated. If constipation is present a half -pint of linseed
oil will have a good effect. Xo purgatives are per-
missible. When the feverish symptoms are strongly
marked a drench of a couple of drachms of quinine in
a pint of water, to which a few drops of sulphuric aciJ
is added, twice or thrice a day, will subdue them; or,
should a drench be inadvisable, an ounce of nitre in a
small mash will be a good substitute. Meantime, steps
must be taken to facilitate the formation of the abscess,
for which purpose poultices of linseed meal or mashed
carrots or turnips answer very well, provided care is
taken that thev are not allowed to become cold before
being renewed, and that when it is inconvenient to
continue them, such as during the night, the throat is
enveloped in flannel. As soon as the abscess is opened
perfect drainage should be provided for by keeping the
wound open until it is evident that all the pus has

Horses and Horsemastership, 53

escaped, after which it may be encouraged to heal.

^Meantime the horse may be offered small feeds of crushed

corn and a little hay, and the usual steps taken to

rehabilitate his impoverished health. If he is very

may be given in the morning and evening feed. But it
must always be remembered that there is no tonic to
equal plenty of fresh air, gentle exercise, good grooming,
and a liberal supply of the best food. The use of
artificial tonics is always attended with a certain amount
of risk, and a groom should never be allowed a free
hand in such matters.

Chapter YII.

BOTS AND WORMS.

I am including bets in these notes, simply because
they are locked upon by the uninitiated as worms, whereas
their presence in the horse is apparently quite harmless,
if, indeed, it be not one of nature's mysterious pro-
visions out of which positive good may arise. Everyone
interested in horses has probably noticed that when a
horse is brought in from grass at the end of the summer
there is usually found adhering to the hairs of his legs
and shoulders, or, indeed, of any part of his body which
he can reach with his tongue, a number of yellow atoms,
which might easily be mistaken for the seeds of some
plant. Tliese are the eggs of the gad-fly, who, in pursuit
of her mission in life, has deposited them in such a
position as will ensure the tiny grubs, which hatch in
the course of a few days, finding their way to their pre-
destined winter quarters in the intestines of the horse,
who unconsciously assists their transfer thereto by the
simple process of licking himself to allay the irritation
set up by the flies alighting upon him. Tlie grubs
attach themselves to the mucous lining of the intestines
by means of tentacles, and obtain sustenance from their

Horses and Horsemastership, 55

host, until in due time (usually in June or July of the
following summer) nature ordains a further change, and
the temporary habitat is vacated. It is at this period
that the bots are discovered in large numbers in the
faeces, and the ignorant person immediately concludes
that the horse is suffering from '' worms," and will
probably proceed to inflict quite useless and unnecessary
doses of medicine, for in a few days all the bots will
quit of their own accord, and such as survive the process
of removal from the stable to the dung-heap will emerge
therefrom in a month or so as perf^ect flies, and ready
to fulfil their allotted duties as such. The horsemaster
will deduct from the foregoing that one almost infallible
sign of an animal having just come off grass is the
presence of the gad-fly's eggs on his coat.

Of the different types of worms, properly so-called,
which infest the horse, none is so difficult to exterminate
as the tape worm, for the reason that each segment is
capable of reproduction. Fortunately, however, this
pest is very rarely found to exist. The common worms
are three in number, viz. : — (1) The long, round worm,
known as the lumbricus, which measures from six to
twelve or more inches in length, and is usually found in
the small intestines ; (2) the strangulus, measuring from
two to four inches ; and (3) the vermicularis, or thread
worm. Both the latter are found in the lar^e intestines.

56 Horses and Horsemastership

The outward signs that a horse is suffering from worms
are a general appearance of unthriftiness, a harsh, star-
ing coat ; a hard cough, without any evidence of cold ;
a variable ajopetite, sometimes eating voraciouslv, at
others as though he was not enjoying his food ; a con-
tinuous whisking of the tail ; an irritable snapping at
his sides, or the appearance of an ecrustated white
matter at the anus. And yet without any outward sign
worms may be found in the faeces.

In any event, a systematic course of treatment will

alone suffice to render the animal proof against the pests ;

but the immediate object is to clear them out of the

intestines, for which purpose two ounces of turpentine

in half a pint of linseed oil is the quickest means. Tlio

diet should be completely changed, and two drachms of

sulphate of iron given daily for a fortnight, at the end

of which time a purgative ball made of

Tartar emetic ... ... 1^ drachms.

Barbadoes aloes ... 4

Powdered ginger ... 1 ,,

Soap ... ... ... 1 ,,

will complete the cure.

It is said, and mv own experience disposes me to
agree, that rock salt in the manger minimises the likeli-
hood of a horse having worms. Anvhow, I believe salt
is essential to a horse's health; certainly horses are very
fond of it.

Chapter VIII.

MEGRIMS OR VERTIGO.

This disease sometimes attacks a horse when he has
been subjected to excessive work under a very hot sun.
It is evidently due to temporary congestion of the brain,
and is more frequent in harness than in saddle
horses. It has been noticed that a close-fitting collar
€r a tight bearing-rein are sufficient to aid in bringing
en an attack ; and also that a horse subject to megrims
in harness never suffered after he was used solely for
riding, though this latter may have been but a coinci-
dence. When attacked the animal comes to an abrupt
standstill, shakes his head violentlv or throws it up and
•down, then staggers about or turns round and falls down,
remaining either quite quiet and apparently insensible,
cr he may exhibit convulsions ; in either event he
usually recovers in a few minutes, when he will, if
required, proceed on his journey as though nothing had
happened. But, naturally, a humane person would get
the poor creature back to his stable, and see him made
comfortable, with the least delay. The attacks are said
to be connected with a disordered stomach, so that a

5^ Horses and Horsemastership,

careful regulation of the diet — the horse never being
allowed to eat as much as he would like — is indicated-
He should be kept on the soft side in condition, i.e..
by feeding less corn and more laxative food than is the
custom, and should never be subjected to undue work
or excitement. Unless such conditions can be assured,
the probability of a recurrence must always be reckoned
with. But even under the most favourable circumstances
no one can say with absolute certainty that a horse who'
has once had megrims will not again suffer. Personally,
I would not keep such an animal for either harness or
saddle work.

STAGGEKS is also a disease in which the brain is
implicated, and usually through its connection with the
stomach. It frequently follows over-gorging, a thing a
horse who has gone without food for a considerable time
is apt to do if he is given the opportunity; or it may
arise primarily from actual disease of the brain itself
without the predisposing cause, in which case death is
almost certain to occur. In the former case there will
probably be actual evidence of over-gorging in the form
of distension of the stomach, otherwise the symptoms
do not vary materially. There are two stages of the
disease — the first, known as sleepy staggers, and this
may eventuate in the second, or mad staggers. In the
first stage the animal appears drowsy, the breathing is

Horses and Horsemastership, 59

heavy, and he may even fall asleep with his head in the
manger. If taken out he will walk as though intoxi-
cated. The pulse will be below normal, and the
respiration will be slower than usual. The bowels are
constipated, and very little urine is passed. As the
disease progresses the pupils become dilated, the eyes
bloodshot, and the eyelids partly closed. In the second
stage the horse behaves as though he were mad. He
becomes painfully excited, and throws himself about,
seemingly regardless of anything, and while the
paroxysms last it is dangerous to approach him.
Intervals of exhaustion will probably occur, during
which he will sweat freely, and stand with his head in a
corner as thougli trying to hide himself.

The treatment of staggers must be directed to clearing
out the bowels, for until this is effected no relief can be
expected. For this purpose six drachms of aloes, half
an ounce of carbonate of soda, and half a wineglassful of
brandy, in half a pint of warm water, should be promptly
administered, and frequent enemata of tepid water,,
not exceeding two quarts at a time, should be given.
Meantime a veterinary surgeon should be sent for.

Chapter IX.

BURSAL ENLARGEMENTS.

It is usual to classify all swellings which have their
origin in injuries resulting in distensions of the burs^
due to an increased secretion of synovia, commonly
called joint-oil, under the above heading.

The true joints, some ligaments, and parts of all
tendons are enclosed by sheaths, or bursae, which are
lined by a membrane called the synovial membrane.
This secretes the joint-oil. Any injury to the joints
arising from overwork, sprains, Arc, excites the synovial
membrane to secrete more than the normal quantity of
fluid ; consequently the sheaths or bursae become dis-
tended, and we get the enlargements, to which distinc-
tive names are applied according to where they appear.

BOG SPAVIN is the name given to the trouble when
it appears in the region of the hock joint, the front and
inner part of which will be distinctly puffy both to the
eye and to the touch. It may or may not cause lame-
ness, according to its origin. If it does, chronic in-
flammation is to be suspected, which is, of course,
serious.

Horses and Horsemastership. 6r

THOROUGHPIN appears in front of the point of
the hock, above and in rear of the joint, and may exist
in conjunction with bog spavin, in which event it is
usually, not invariably, but the overflow, as it were, of
the fluid from the front part of the hock. The true
thoroughpin arises from injury to the large tendon,^
known as the great extensor pedis tendon. If the swell-
ing is visible on one side of the leg only, pressure upon
it will result in its appearing on the other side ; but it
is to be seen more frequently on both sides.

WINDGALLS is the name which distinguishes dis-
tension of the bursa in the region of the fetlock joints
the result, as a rule, of overwork.

As no specific name is given to the enlargement of the
bursae of other joints, though such a thing is, of course,
quite possible, it may be inferred that the complaint is
unusual except as above indicated, namely, in the hocks
and the fetlocks.

TREATMENT. —The treatment of bursal enlarge-
ments, which, when all is said and done, are but the
indication of trouble either in the joints, the tendons,
or the ligaments, or even of their sheaths, will entirely
depend upon wdiether or not lameness is coincident ; if it
is, there will be other symptoms present besides the
mere puffiness, such, for instance, as abnormal heat,
when a sprain may be suspected, and the treatment will

62 Horses and Horsemastership,

be directed to the cure thereof (see Sprains), and with
the removal of the exciting cause the excess of fluid will
disappear. But where there is no lameness the enlarge-
ment is mostly objectionable as an eyesore, and such
cases are usually the result of overwork rather than of
sudden injury. The treatment must be directed to
stimulating absorption, both by friction and pressure,
or even by mild blisters. It must, however, be admitted
that a permanent cure is rarely effected, and the enlarge-
ments are almost sure to reappear on the animal being
again subjected to the inciting cause.

Chapter X.

LAMENESS

It is obvious that to be able to detect the cause and
seat of lameness is a most essential part of the horse-
master's knowledge. The cause of lameness which results
from cracked heels, treads, over-reaches, and the like is,
of course, visible; but w^iere there is no such outward
sign it takes experience and practical knowledge to be
able to say in which limb or limbs a horse is lame, and,
after having ascertained that much, to be able to locate
the exact spot where the trouble exists, i.e., if it is the
foot, the fetlock, the knee, the shoulder, the hock, or
the hip, &c., &c., which is affected.

There are certain well-known peculiarities which
when exhibited enable one to conclude where the mis-
chief is most likely to be found, and a brief description
thereof will be of some assistance to those w^ho are
anxious to become acquainted with the subject.

The first examination for lameness should always take
place in the stable and when the horse has been at rest
for at least an hour. In the brief notes on laminitis
and navicular disease I have indicated the manner in

64 Horses and Horsemastership,

which a horse stands who is suffering from either of
these troubles ; and in many cases of lameness, arising
from other causes, the animal will stand in his stall in
such a manner as to relieve the injured or diseased part,
the weight being borne on the sound limbs. But of
course it does not necessarily follow that if a horse is
observed to be resting a limb that it is the one in which
the trouble exists ; though where lameness is suspected,
or is known to be loresent, the limb which is not being
used to aid in the support of the body is naturally the
one to which attention is at once directed, and therefore
the first to be examined.

Tlie horse should next be taken from his stall, and
any difficulty of movement while being backed out or
turned round should be carefully noted. \Yhen out-
side the stable a careful comparison should be made of
the parts of the suspected limb with its fellow. For
instance, do the hocks correspond in size and formation?
Is there any difference in the feet to be observed ? Does
he stand squarely? and so on. The hand should then
be passed over the legs, and anv difference in the warmth
of any particular part, when compared with the corres-
ponding part of the other limb, should be noted; for just
as there is '" no smoke without a fire,"" so there is no
abnormal heat without trouble. The horse should next
be led up and down at a walk, the examiner being careful

Horses and Horsemastership, 65

to observe his movements both from in front, from
behind, and from both sides. If the lameness is so
slight as not to be noticeable at the walk, the horse
should be taken along at a slow trot, the groom allowing
him just enough rope to go freely.

Now, it is easy enough to say '" that horse is lame''
when one sees a suffering animal hobbling along, but
the experienced man knows that the nodding of the head,
for instance, always occurs on the same side as the lame
leg if the trouble is behind, while the reverse applies it
it is in front. He will note also if the horse, as he is
trotted towards him, dwells longer on one fore foot than
the other (though the difference be but momentary), and
for a certainty down will go his head as that foot reaches
the ground, proving that it is in the other leg he is
suffering. In cases of severe lameness in one of the fore
legs, the pain of contact with the ground will frequently
cause the animal to throw his head up beyond the normal
level as the diseased or injured member comes down,
and the corresponding nod will be accentuated.

The examiner next observes the horse's movement
from behind, and if the action of the hips exhibits no
difference he will be confirmed in arriving at the decision
that the trouble is in front, for rarely, if ever, does
lameness in the fore legs affect the action of the hips.
Eut supposing the lameness exists in one of the hind

^6 Horses and Horsemastership,

legs, it probably will be observed that one hip is carried
higher than the other, and if in conjunction with this
the head nods as the foot on the side that is so carried
comes to the ground, then the trouble will invariably
"be discovered on that side, either in the hock or below
it, but probably the former, for the high carriage of the
hip is one of the peculiarities of hock lameness. Another
point to be noticed is if the horse goes on straight, or
trcts, much as a dog does, with a slanting of the body.
The slant will usually be from the side on which the
trouble exists, as though the animal were tr\^ing to get
away from the pain. Tliis peculiarity is most notice-
able when the trouble is above the hock joint.

Viewed from the side, the examiner's attention will
be more especially directed to the movements of the
joints. Is there equal flexion of the hocks, the knees,
and the fetlocks? and so on. Tlien the way the feet are
put dowm is of importance. Anv irregularity of the
•cadence will also convey a meaning. The rhythmic one,
two, three, four, is alwavs interfered with by lameness,
though it does not follow^ that this alone is a sign, for
many quite sound horses do not trot true.

It is not sufficient to test a horse on hard ground,
such as a road, for although lameness which arises from
"bonv deposits, such as splints, spavins, etc., is more
apparent under such conditions, sprains of the ligaments
and muscles are more easilv detected on soft ground.

Chapter XI.

NURSING AND ADMINISTERING
MEDICINES.

As with the human patient so with the horse, the
value of sympathetic and intelligent nursing during ill-
ness goes a long way in aiding recovery. It is ahvays
wise to anticipate the possibility of the illness being of
a contagious or infectious nature, and therefore the
afflicted animal should be isolated. Even in cases of
accidents the desirability of ensuring quiet renders this
advisable. The patient will have a better chance in a
loose box than if he is kept tied up in a stall. The question
of providing extra warmth by means of clothing, flannel
bandages on the legs, Arc, will, especially if the com-
plaint is of a debilitating character, have to be con-
sidered, and if, despite the bandages, the legs are found
to be cold, the bandages should be removed and the
extremities well rubbed wdth the hands until warmth is
restored, when they must be replaced.

In pulmonary troubles care must be taken to keep the
temperature of the box as equable as possible ; at the
same time ncthino; must be dene which would interfere

68 Horses and Horsemastership.

with perfect ventilation, for fresh air is a most important
consideration, though the exclusion of draughts must
not be overlooked. General cleanliness, and the liberal
use of disinfectants, becomes more important than ever.
Grooming must be reduced to a minimum; indeed,
while the illness is at its height it should be restricted
to sponging the eyes, nose, and dock with tepid water,
to which a small quantity of some suitable disinfectant
has been added, morning and evening, while
sponging the forehead with vinegar and water is-
refreshing. If the illness is likely to be pro-
longed the shoes may be removed, and every-
thing calculated to improve the general comfort of the
patient should be done. Diet will, of course, have to be
regulated according to the disease, but it is always
advisable to stop the corn at the outset, its place being
taken by nourishing food of a laxative nature, such as-
bran or linseed mashes. Green meat, of which good
grass or lucerne is most appreciated, carrots, parsnips,
boiled potatoes, liberally sprinkled with salt, are among
the things which will tempt the invalid to eat. Boiled
crushed corn is frequently prescribed. It should be
cooked to the consistency of porridge, and with enough
salt to make it palatable. Milk sweetened with sugar
is often acceptable, and in debilitating fevers a couple
of beaten-up eggs three or four times a day are excellent

Horses and Horsemastership, 69

as a pick-me-up. Alcohol in the form of a quart of
stout or ale has good results in convalescence; even a
half a bottle of port once a day is of the utmost value.

A sick horse will frequently accept food from his
master's hand when he would refuse to eat from the
manger or a pail. As a general rule it is better to use
a pail in the temporary hospital, for under no circum-
stances should uneaten food be allowed to remain before
the patient. Except in certain diseases, the animal
should be allowed as much fresh water as he fancies. In
winter the chill should be taken off it.

HAY-TEA. — A refreshing drink is made by filling
a pail, which has previously been warmed, with choice
hay. Pour on it as much boiling water as the pail will
hold, and cover it wdth a clean sack or blanket. As
soon as it is cool the contents can be strained and given
to the horse.

Causing the horse to inhale the steam from scalded
hay often affords relief in bronchial troubles, especially
when a few drops of oil of turpentine has been sprinkled
on it.

LINSEED TEA is made by boiling a pound of the
linseed in half a gallon or more of water until the seeds
become quite soft. When cooked, the concoction is
sufficient to make three drinks of half a gallon each by
the simple process cf adding the necessary quantity of

yo Horses and Horsemastership.

hot water, or. without the extra water, it may be given
as a mash when cool enough.

A BRAN AND LINSEED :\IASH can be made by
cooking a pound of linseed as directed above, so that
you have two quarts of the emulsion. Remove it from
the fire and add two joounds of bran and one ounce of
salt. Stir well and cover up until cool, when it is ready
for use.

OATMEAL GRUEL is made by putting a pound of
meal and an ounce of salt into a gallon of cold water.
Allow it to come to boiling point, stirring the contei^ts,
and then to simmer for about half an hour.

A BRAN MASH is made by placing four double-
handfuls of bran in a pail; add one ounce of salt. Pour
on the contents about a quart of boiling water; mix
well, cover, and allow to stand until sufficientlv cool.

ADMINISTERING MEDICINE.

Liquid medicine is best administered in a drenching
tin, but a large hock or soda water bottle is a good
substitute. The horse's head must be raised fairly high,
and the best way to do this is by means of a "figure-of-
eight" noose, one end of which is placed in the animal's
mouth, while the prong of a stable fork is passed through
the other, and so the head can be raised by an assistant
to the required height. Holding up one of the

Horses and Horsemastership. 7^

fore legs will help to prevent the horse resist-
ing. But a twitch is often necessary if the
horse is very restive, and one can be made as
follows : Get a broom handle ; cut it down to about
three feet long. Bor-s a hole through it about two
inches from one end, and through this hole loop some
stout, strong cord, such as window-blind cord. The
loop should be about six inches long when stretched
out. Tlie twitch is applied to the upper lip in this way :
Pass the loop over the second, third, and fourth fingers
and thumb of the left hand, allowing the handle to
dangle. Grasp the upper lip or nose with the same
hand, and let the noose or loop slide off your hand on
to the lip, and while still holding the lip twist the handle
rapidly with the right hand until the lip is securely
gripped by the nocse, and the horse is practically at
your mercy. If he budges give the handle a further
twist or two. Now raise his head by simply forcing it
up with the aid of the handle to the required height.
Your assistant now mounts a chair on the left (near)
side of the horse's head (never in front), places the neck
of the tin or bottle in the interdental space, and allows
the medicine to flow gently into the animal's throat.
On the least sign of coughing lower the head at once.
The horse must be soothed as much as possible through-
out the procedure by the voice and patting.

72 Horses and Horsemastership.

A ball is given by the operator standing on the oS
side, and taking hold of the tongue in right hand and
gently withdrawing it. Transfer it to the left hand,
and take the ball between the first, second, and third
fingers of the right hand, formed as a triangular prong
or forceps, the first and third fingers beneath and the
second on top. The thumb and little finger tips should
meet beneath, so that the whole hand may occupy as
little space as possible. Press upon the lower jaw with
the second finger of the left hand, and pass the right
hand as straight and as far into the mouth as is neces-
sary to leave the ball at the back of the tongue and near
the gullet. This must be done coolly and quickly.
Withdraw the hand, release the tongue, and close the
mouth. The action of the tongue going back to its place
carries the ball into the gullet, and it can be seen pass-
ing down the throat.

Powders, Epsom salts, and the like can be given
either in a mash or in the drinking water.

An electuarv may be smeared on the tongue or back
(molar) teeth.

ENEMAS. — When medicine administered in the
ordinary way has failed to act, or when it is deemed
expedient from the exigencies of the case, resort is had
to the enema, i.e., the injection into the lower end of
the bowel of some liquid substance by means of a syringe

Horses and Horsemastership, 73

■or funnel sjoecially made for the purpose. Enemas which
are intended to remain in the bowels, such as, for'
instance, nutriment when the horse is too ill to feed,
must, of course, be made up with as little fluid as is
<:onvenient. Six or more eggs beaten up in half a pint
■of brandy, or even milk, is an example of what may be
•done. Or if the object is, in addition, to allay pain,
one ounce of laudanum, one ounce of sulphuric ether,
and one quart of warm (not hot) gruel is excellent. On
the other hand, if the object is to clear out the bowels,
then the liquid used may be anything from one to three
gallons, containing a pint of linseed or castor oil. Bear
in mind that the rectum itself always should be emptied
by the hand before attempting to give an enema.

POULTICES.— Except for the feet or throat, poultices
are not very satisfactory agents in dealing with horse
ailments, mainly because of the difficulty of fixing them ;
therefore, in pulmonary troubles, where in the case of
the human subject a poultice would suffice, in the case
of the horse mustard is generally used in the following
way : Place as much mustard as is likely to be wanted
in a basin, mix it with cold water until a very thin
paste is formed ; rub this into the sides of the chest with
the palm of the hand, and allow it to remain on for about
a quarter of an hour. Sponge off with warm water, dry
with a soft towel, dust on a little mustard, and rug-up
■warm at once.

74 Horses and Horsemastership,

Where a hot poultice can be used it is usually made
of bran or bran and linseed, and in inflammation of the
feet, corns, and such like troubles where it is advisable
to soften the horn, the addition of vinegar is of great
assistance. Linseed is, of course, often used by itself,
and is probably better than bran for abscesses, indolent
sores, 'Arc. Poultices should always be made large and
thick. In poulticing a foot a bag, such as an old feed
bag, should be nearly filled with the poultice and the
foot placed in it. The mouth of the bag should be tied
round the horse's leg, but not so tight as to check the
circulation.

THE PULSE

is a most important indicator of the animal's state of
health. The pulse is usually " taken" by placing the-
first and second fingers of the right hand a little in front
of the angle of the lower jaw. There will be found an
arterv, and by very gentle pressure the beating or
pulsation will be felt.

In the healthy adult the pulse beats from 36 to 40
per minute. 50 to 60 indicates fever, while in some-
diseases it may be as rapid as 120.

The "tone" of the pulse is, however, often of more
value to the veterinarian in making his diagiiosis than
the rate, though in most instances he is guided by both.

Horses and Horsemasiership. 73

It may be either regular, irregular, intermittent, strong,
weak, hard, wir}', &c., each of which would convey
a separate message to the surgeon.

THE TEMPERATURE.

is also an indicator from which much may be gathered.
It is ''taken" by means of an instrument called a clinical
thermometer, which is the same as that used by medical
men to ascertain the temperature of human patients.

In the case of the horse the bulb and about an inch
of the stem of the instrument is passed into the rectum,
and held by the fingers of the right hand as near the tip
as possible. Some clinical thermometers are more
sensitive than others, but usu.ally about two minutes is
allowed before withdrawing the instrimient. Tlie

Fahrenheit; 103 deg. indicates mild fever, 105 deg.
high fever, anvthing over which mav be regarded as
very serious indeed.

RESPIEATION is best observed at the flanks. A
healthy animal breathes at the rate of fourteen times a
minute.

SOME HINTS ON RIDING.

Let us now consider that phase of horsemanship
which the average man takes most interest in, viz.,
riding.

The exercise is a most fascinating one, and there is
no art which better repays the trouble the novice is
bound to undergo in acquiring it. Some men become
expert much quicker than others, but there is no reason
why every man should not ride tolerably well, even
though he may not have commenced to learn until
fairly late in life. He may never know the joys of being
able to sit out a buck-jumper, or of feeling absolutely
safe no matter what sort of a mount he is put upon ;
iDut he can gain sufficient confidence and knowledge to
pass muster, and with the few opportunities which fall
to the lot of many, that is as much as can be expected.

The day may come when the Government will awake
to the fact that some proper provision should be made
for teaching recruits, and it ought to be possible, at no
very great expense to the public, to provide here and
there in the large centres of population a school of

Horses and Horsemastership. 11

equitation, which would prove of considerable value as
an attraction to recruits for the mounted forces, and
which, properly managed, might be made entirely self-
supporting.

The proper methods of mounting and dismounting
can be so easily acquired that I shall not deal with
them, but shall at once proceed to deal with my subject
under the sub-headings of — 1, The Seat; 2, The Hands;
and 3, The Legs.

1. THE SEAT.

That part of our anatomy which it is usual to sit upon
is comprised of three bones. In the saddle the weight
of the body should be equally distributed between them,
for if this is not done the correct poise or balance, upon
which so much depends, will be rendered more difficult
to attain. Tlie first thing, therefore, to remember is
to "sit square," i.e., well down on your seat, shoulders
well back, so that the chest is thrown forward and the
small of the back hollowed, at the same time avoiding
as much as possible anything approaching rigidity.
Balance and friction (i.e., grip), with the stirrups thrown
in, are the factors which together go towards giving a
man a good seat on a horse. A gxeat deal more
importance must be attached to the two former than
to the latter. The proper balance has first to be ac-

7^ Horses and Horsemastership.

quired, after which attention must be paid to the
improvement of the seat by the employment of as much
friction as possible, and, finally, the proper use of the
stirrups will aid in perfecting the rider as far as his
individual ability will permit ; for it is not upon any
one of the means of support, but upon the intelligent
employment of all, that the security of the seat depends.

With regard to balance, it is so essentially a matter
of practice that there is verv little to be said upon the
subject. Almost everyone rides a bicycle nowadays, and
the principles which apply to riding that machine apply
almost equally to equitation; indeed, a cyclist ought to
find but little trouble in overcoming the initial diffi-
culties.

I stated above that rigidity is to be avoided. The
average man when he finds himself upon a horse for the
first time instinctivelv braces everv muscle of his body,
and resists, or. to put it plainer, works against the
movements of the animal. A moment's reflection will
make it apparent that this must be opposed to the very
thing we are considering, and the sooner the beginner
gets confidence enough to let himself go with his horse's
movements the sooner he will acquire balance.

I cannot help thinking that if the preliminarv lessons
in equitation were restricted to placing the recruit
properly in the saddle, and not allowing him to touch

Horses and Horsemastership, 79

the reins until his horse had been led a few times round
the school, first at the walk, and, as confidence was
gained, at the trot, the principles of balance would
dawn upon him much sooner than under the present
system.

2. THE LEGS.

Xo matter how perfect the balance may be, it is
■evident that unless friction with the saddle can also be
maintained a secure seat on horseback cannot be counted
upon. Of course, while gaining a knowledge of balance
the reciiiit has been (it may be without his knowing it,
though a sore place or two invariably makes the fact
apparent) employing friction. But it is the proper
employment of friction, or grip, which alone will enable
him, in conjunction with balance, to counteract the
chances of losing his seat.

Now, it stands to reason that the closer a man sits to
his saddle the greater will be the amount of friction
created. The whole length of the thighs from the fork
to the knees should be therefore employed, as far as
possible, in gripping the saddle ; and it is to these parts
alone that any rigidity, as the result of muscular effort,
may be allowed. Do not, however, let it be imagined
that I am advocating what I may call a sort of inanimate
fixiditv of the thio-hs. A certain amount of movement

8o

Horses and Horsemastership.

there must always be, but the muscles must be kept, so
to speak, under close control, in order that the greatest
amount of friction may be at any moment brought into-
play. A well-known authority, in describing a good
seat, says : " From the hips upwards movable, in order
to enable the rider to vary his balance or use his.
Aveapons ; from the knee downwards movable for the use
of the spur and the control of the horse's hind legs, and
between these two points, hip and knee, fixed for the
seat."" The principle is correct, but practice and conse-
quent advancement in knowledge will reveal to what
extent the grip of the thighs can be safely relaxed under
normal circumstances.

The part played by the stirrups becomes, in the case-
of an accomplished rider, a very minor one indeed, so
much so that you will often find a rough-rider quit them
when he has a particularly tough job in hand. Never-
theless, I am of opinion that it is best to begin with the
aid of the stirrups, and not to attempt riding without
them until the seat has become fairly safe.

Of course, the stirrups are extremelv useful, if not.
indeed, an absolute necessity, when weapons, such as the
sword or the lance, have to be used.

As to the proper length to which thev should be
adjusted, the general rule is that the leathers and
stirrups should reach from the tip of the second finger,.

Horses and Horsemastership,

placed on the bracket on which the stirrup leather 53
suspended, well into the armpit, the arm being fully
extended. This length will be found a suitable and
comfortable one for a. man of average build. But my
advice is to have your stirrups as long as possible con-
sistent with comfort and a correct seat. If they are too
long, "fork-riding" will result, and the heels will be up
instead of down. If you have them too short, the legs
become too much bent, the muscles cramped, and
■■ stirrup riding" (i.e., an undue pressure and dependence
upon the stirrups) follows. The ball of the foot should
barely ?'esf, as it were, upon the stirrup. This is a
point which usually bothers the novice considerably, for
until the instinctive contraction of the muscles of the
calves of the legs and ankles is overcome, one or both of
the stirrups will be occasionally lost, or else they will
slip under the instep, a position which, while right
enough in the hunting field, is incorrect from a military
point of view, except when practising jumping, which
is dealt with further on.

With regard to the legs from the knee downwards,
the knee itself should, of course, grip the saddle, and
should on no account be allowed to wobble about. I
have heard it stated that a man should be able to ride
for a considerable time with a sixpence between each
knee and the saddle, and I believe it. Certainly it is a
eood idea to bear in mind.

82 Horses and Horsemastership,

The point of the knee should be turned as much
towards the saddle as possible ; this facilitates keeping
the toes turned in, which is most desirable.

The heels should be let well down, and the calves of
the legs should be close to the horse's sides, for nothing
looks worse than the legs stuck outwards from the knees.
It is a bad habit, and consequently an easily cultivated
one.

3. THE HANDS.

Bad hands are the cause of more accidents than any-
thing else I know of. A man may have a secure seat,
he may have perfect control of his legs, but unless he
has o^ood hands his chances of comino- to grief are never
remote ; and yet how few riding-masters pay any serious
attention to this most important matter I The horse's
mouth is naturally sensitive, and I have over and over
again come across men with quite excellent seats who
could do practically nothing \vith certain horses, simply
because they lacked that '" light and even feeling" which
goes so far towards making things comfortable for the
horse, and consequently for his rider.

I once owned a horse which before I bought him was
regarded as a bolter, and he certainly did bolt on a few
occasions after I had him, but never with me. The sole
cause of his bolting was ''bad hands." He was a high-
couraged, almost thoroughbred animal, and so long as

Horses and Horsemastership. 83

his mouth was not messed about he was always under
perfect control, but once begin a continuous pull on the
reins, and the harder the pull the faster he went. Yet
with me he never pulled an ounce. I could send him
along at racing speed and stop him, in as short a distance
as any horse, by a " give and take'' check, and it is that
" give and take" which is so essential to study and under-
stand in everything connected with horses, but more
especially in regard to hands.

In considering the hands the arms must not be dis-
regarded ; they must be kept perfectly flexible, the
elbows close to the sides, the hands slightly lower than
the elbows, and about six inches in front of the navel.
While anything approaching rigidity must be avoided,
neither the arms nor the hands should be allowed to
waggle about.

The correct way to hold the reins in the hands can
be easily learned in the schools or elsewhere, but what
the novice, and, indeed, many men who have passed
from the noviciate stage, should seek to cultivate is that
" light and even feeling," that "' give and take" above
alluded to.

In my remarks on balance I advocated the principle
of giving the recruit his first lessons without his holding
the reins, and for this reason : The moment the horse
begins to move, the learner forgets that the reins are

84 Horses and Horsemastership,

simply one of the methods of conveying the rider's wishes
to his mount, and makes use of them as an extra means
of hanging on. The reins should never be regarded in
this light. It should be impressed upon every beginner
that his balance should, and must, be maintained irre-
spective of the reins, and that until he can do this good
hands will not be possible.

JUMPING.

No man can be considered to have a safe seat until
he can sit a horse over any reasonable jump or flight of
jumps which may present themselves.

Jumping a decently trained horse is not nearly such
a difficult matter as it seems, and even an untrained
one, if ridden at a jump bv a horseman who has no fear
and knows how he should ride, will in most cases get
over.

The subject is one capable of great expansion, but to
be brief the chief points to remember are :

1. Ease the bit reins and ride on the bridoon only.

2. Grip your saddle with your thighs.

3. Keep your legs well back and well in, but avoid

using the spur.

4. Tlie instant before the horse takes off ease your

hands, and lean back without relaxing your grip
of the saddle.

5. Lock straight ahead and sit square.

Horses and Horsemastership. 85

The object of easing the bit reins is so that the risk
cf a pull on the curb may be avoided. If this should
happen the horse is likely to be thrown out of his stride,
and he may either refuse to jump or else jump clumsily.

The saddle must, of course, be gripped as tightly as
possible, or the seat will be shifted and the balance
probably lost.

If the legs are not kept back they are pretty sure to
get stuck out in front of the horse "s shoulders, with the
double result that they cannot be used to assist in con-
trolling the horse, and when he lands the rider will
probably receive a nasty jar, even if he is not shot off;
moreover, the spur will probably gash the animal's arm
or shoulder. If the spur is applied to a willing iiorse
he may blunder at his jump, but of course there are
times when the judicious use of it becomes necessary.
The novice should never attempt it.

The horse should be ridden up to the jump at a steady
canter, and with just enough feeling of his mouth to hold
him together and prevent his rushing, as most animals
are apt to do.

^Vlien the " take off" is reached ease the hands by
simply turning the little fingers outwards, simultaneously
leaning back from the hips and pressing the legs well in.
A horse cannot jump well if his head is held in ; an inch
or two eases him sufficiently, provided the reins are at
the proper length at the start.

86 Horses and Horsemastership,

The leaning back neutralises the impetus of the horse's
action as he takes off, which otherwise has a tendency
to shoot the rider over his head. Pressing the legs to
his sides counteracts any inclination he may have to
refuse to jump.

GENERALLY.

It should always be borne in mind that pushing a
horse to his full pace is only justifiable in circumstances
of real emergency. No horseman, worthy of the name,
would ever think of bringing his horse in from work in
an obviously exhausted and over-heated condition. The
average horse can be educated to habitually move at the
comfortable rate of four miles at the walk, eight at the
trot, and fifteen at the gallop. The practice of dis-
mounting when halted, and when proceeding up or
down long and steep inclines, should become general.
The last half mile, or so, from home should be covered
in the same way, especially if the horse is hot. On
such occasions slackening the girths, and raising the
saddle, adds much to the comfort of the animal.

Chapter XIII.

VICES.

The horse is not naturally a vicious animal, and I
am therefore disposed to argue that such vices as
occasionally become manifest are usually the result of
improper handling either in the early days of his train-
ing or subsequently. No animal is more amenable to
kind but firm treatment, and it is consequently desirable
that no one should be entrusted with the education of a
horse who is not possessed of an even temper, a natural
love of the animal, and the requisite patience, besides
knowing no fear. The horse trained by such an one
starts his career with everything in favour of his turning
out a respectable and well-behaved member of the equine
race. I do not wish to be misunderstood. Horses, like
human beings, are differently constituted, both physi-
cally and mentally. It is more often than not the fault
of the tutor if the pupil develops bad habits ; and the
same may be said of the master and the servant.

I quite admit that some horses are predisposed to
vicious habits, such as biting and kicking, and it is
unfortunate if animals so afflicted commence their

88 Horses and Horsemastership.

schooling under unfavourable auspices. Some ignorant
stable lads find amusement in teasing a ticklish
youngster, and many a docile but high-couraged colt
acquires one or other of the vices referred to in this way.
A bad-tempered groom will often abuse and ill-treat his
charges until they, practically in self-defence, get into
the habit of kicking or biting at anything in the shape
of a man. Animals whose tempers have been soured in
this fashion can rarely be completely cured, simply
because their confidence in mankind is at a low ebb.
I have, nevertheless, come across several cases where
systematic kindness and firmness have worked wonders.

Horses have a wonderful faculty of quickly discovering
whether a man is a horsemaster, and therefore a horse
lover, and, of course, fearless, or a creature whose only
aim is to get his work done with as little trouble to
himself as possible, and who resents am^ that may arise
by a savage blow from the brush or currv comb, or even
by a kick. Such a man is usually a coward at heart,
and is always expecting to be paid back, and who can
blame the horse?

It follows, therefore, that a horse with a bad character
for biting or kicking is not necessarily a viciously-
inclined animal, and if it should be the reader's lot to
get hold of such an one, which is otherwise quite suitable,
it is always worth while trying th(; effect of kindness

Horses and Horsemastership, Sg

both in the stable and at work. The voice has a
wonderful effect. Never approach the horse without
speaking soothingly to him. Fondle him. Always have
a bonne bouch of some sort to give him. Take a turn
at grooming him yourself (one of the finest exercises),
and saddle and bridle him. If this treatment is con-
tinued unintermittently for a month or two the animal
will be a wrong one indeed if he fails to turn over a
new leaf and become, if not entirely a paragon, at least
fairly reliable.

Some horses who would not lift a foot to a man have
a nasty habit of lashing out when in the company of
others. All cavalrymen and men who hunt know^ too
well w^hat a source of danger such an animal is. A
horse who kicks in the ranks not infrequently is quite
docile when he is not so crowded, but a horse who never
loses a favourable opportunity of '' rapping" at another
is only fit for single harness. A considerate man would
never ride him in company.

Then there are horses who indulge in kicking^ their
"Stalls to bits — a frequent source of capped hocks. Mares
are the principal sinners in this respect, but if an animal
who has not been in the habit of it suddenty starts the
trick it is as well to see if he may not be suffering from
■some foot or skin trouble, or even worms or other
intestinal complaint. Lack of proper exercise is also a

90 Horses and Horsemastership,

predisposing cause. Very often a horse who will kick
in this way when tied up in a stall wont do so in a
loose-box.

Bolting usually has its inception in ner\'ousness on the
part of the horse and incompetence on the part of the
person in charge of him at the time. Something
frightens the animal, and he breaks into a gallop, which
if not promptly checked becomes a mad race. A horse
well mouthed as a youngster rarely becomes a confirmed
bolter, simpl}' because he is amenable to the bit; but
a horse whose mouth has been spoiled, or which is natur-
ally of a wooden description, if he is allowed to get away
once will probably repeat the performance on the first
available opportunity, especially if he knows that his
rider is incompetent ; for many a horse will bolt with a
bad or indifferent horseman who wouldn't presume to
do so with a good man up. The value of good hands is
probably never so clearly demonstrated as in connection
^dth a high-couraged animal wath a tendency to run
away. Once begin messing his mouth about and it&
long odds on trouble ensuing. A few soothing words ^
a pat on the neck, and that light and even feeling of
the mouth, that give and take check which only a man
possessing good hands knows how to employ, and the
horse will most likely soon stead}^ dowm. Tlie rider's
confidence in himself begets the confidence of his mount.

Horses and Horsemastership. 9^

and what would in other hands have ended in a mad
gallop, and perhaps a bad mishap, becomes instead a
pleasant outing. However, we have to consider what is
best to be done when a horse really gets out of hand-
i.e., when his rider has failed to check the intention to
bolt.

The first and most important thing is to keep control
of yourself, for if you, too, lose your head, in a figurative
sense, you are much more likely to lose your life ^n
reality, or at least to get badly " crocked." The next
thinor is, of course, to endeavour to brinsf vour horse to
a standstill, and it depends on the room you have what
is the best way to proceed. If the animal goes off in
a large, open space, get him on a wide circle, to the most
convenient hand, and gradually diminish it until he has
had enough and desists of his own accord, when, if you,
too, have had as much riding as you require for the day,
you can go home quietly ; otherwise another fast gallop,
at your dictation, will probably give the horse something
to consider should he contemplate bolting with you
again. But suppose the venue is in a dangerous country,
where there are numerous trees, a quarry, or similar
risks of coming to grief to be considered, ail your efforts
must be concentrated on stopping the animal as quickly
as possible. Tliere is absolutely no good in a long, dead
pull on the reins. The harder you pull, the faster a

92 Horses and Horsemastership,

runaway will go. But a strong pull and a sudden
release, repeated several times if necessary, will occasion-
ally be successful in throwing the animal out of his
stride, of which advantage should be at once taken by
a fierce tug at one rein only. Tliis may result in bring-
ing the horse down, but that is not the most undesirable
thing under the circumstances. Sawing the mouth may
also be resorted to, which means rapid alternate tugs at
each rein. Throwing one's self off a bolting horse is an
extremely dangerous thing, and should never be done
except it is apparently the lesser of two evils, such, for
instance, as the close proximity of cliffs or a shop
window for which the animal is heading; indeed, in the
latter or similar cases is is as well to defer it until the
moment before the impact. If such a contingency
should arise, both stirrups should be quitted before
jumping, or rather vaulting off.

A horse which is inclined to bolt should always be
ridden with a running or standing martingale and a
noseband fitted so as to admit two fingers between it
and the nose. The former prevents him getting his head
up, which, of course, nullifies the effect of the bits on
the bars of the mouth (interdental space), and the latter
prevents him opening his mouth and so easing the action
of the bits. He should also be carefully bitted (i.e., the
iDits should fit properly, being neither too wide nor too

Horses and Horssmastership. 93

narrow for his mouth), and the bridle should be so
regulated as to ensure the bits being in their proper
places in the mouth. I say "' bits," because such a horse
should never be ridden in a single bit or without a curb,
which latter should admit two fingers between it and
the jaw. A curb fitted tighter than this is not nearly
so effective, though some ignorant grooms think it can't
be too tight, and accordingfly send the horse out un-
comfortable, which is enough to upset his temper. Of
course, no hcrsemaster leaves such things to his groom,
or, if he does, he is careful to look round his horse before
mounting to see that everything is properly fitted.

Shying is due to nervousness at unaccustomed sights
or sounds, and, in the case of older horses, to imperfect
eyesight. Some horses will shy when they "get past
themselves" through a too liberal supply of corn and lack
of work. I am of opinion that the darkness of most
stables is also a predisposing cause. Is is a great mistake
to beat a horse for shying, for that only adds to his
nervousness. The proper course is to speak kindly to
him, bringing him back, if need be, to face the object
of his alarm. Encourage him to go up close to it, and
so convince him that the fearsome thing was harmless.
Colts who have been at grass in the vicinity of a railway
get so used to trains that they never heed them, but
when a youngster who has never seen such a thing before
comes to the gates of a level-crossing just as a train is

94 Horses and Horsemastership.

passing, it is small wonder if he is terrified; but this
will wear off as he becomes accustomed to the sight and
noise of a train. It is the same with other things, such
as motors, d:c. I remember one horse I owned used to
be greatly alarmed at the sight of a man wheeling a
barrow or handcart. If he couldn't bolt away, he would
stand and shiver all over, snorting loudly the while. I
cured him in a week bv the simple expedient of having
his feeds of corn wheeled into and about his loose box
on a barrow, making a fuss of him, of course, while it
was being done, and then leaving him to eat his feed
from the barrow, which he quickly learned to do. This
horse had, however, no defect of eyesight, and as he was
an "aged" animal (i.e., eight off) he must, I imagine, have
suffered some ill-treatment with which a man and a
barrow were identified in his mind. In cases where the
shying arises from defective vision, it is not usuallv
of a ver}^ serious nature, by which I mean that the
animal collects liimself much more quicklv than does the
youngster who shies at something he has never seen
before. On the other hand, a horse which has become
so afflicted will always be liable to shy, simply because
hitherto familiar objects momentarilv assume unfamiliar
shapes.

But of all vices, I am inclined to regard confirmed
rearing as the worst, and not altogether because I have

Horses and Horsemastership. 95

had a somewhat unfortunate acquaintance with it. To
find your horse standing bolt upright on his hind legs,
pawing the air with his fore legs, is apt to be disconcert-
ing. Tliere is, of course, a vast difference between the
light-mouthed horse who will occasionally " get up" when
a man who has no hands lays hold of him, and the brute
with whom it has become a vice and who means business.
The former will desist as soon as his mouth is eased ;
the latter intends to get rid of his rider if possible.

The way to sit a rearer is to at once ease the hands,
retainixLg just sufficient feeling of the mouth so that you
may not be taken at a disadvantage, but, of course,
avoiding anything approaching a dead pull on the reins.
Lean w^ell forward ; get your legs well back, and screw
the spurs into his flanks. The horse will probably
plunge forward (for which you must be prepared), when,
before he has time to think, the application on the
shoulders of a few stinging cuts from a whip is usually
productive of excellent results. The moment he comes
to the ground again force him to shift his hind legs by
turning him on the forehand. Always be prepared for
his coming right over, when your only chance is to
jump clear in time.

Different methods of curing a horse of rearing have
heen suggested. One brutal, but I have been told
(though I don't believe it) effective way was to smash a

96 Horses and Horsemastership.

bottie of water over the animal's head as he came up-
Aiiother is to " give him a fall'" by jumping off at the-
psychological moment and pulling the horse over. I
tried this once, and spent three weeks in bed as a result.
I " cured'" my horse by selling him to a cab proprietor,
and I believe that or a similar way is the best method
of dealing; with a confirmed rearer, unless the horse is
so valuable as to make it worth while handing him over
to a trustworthy trainer, in the hope that he may cure
him, for the job is not one which an amateur can usually
successfully undertake.

From the foregoing observations it will be clear that
vices almost invariably have their inception in bad
usage, either from brutality or ignorance. If, therefore,
it is possible to trace the history of a confirmed vice to
the start, it will, as a rule, be found that the horse was.
asked to do something which, from lack of ability, due,
perhaps, to some defect or insufficient training, he was
incapable of doing, and that when he rebelled there was
a fight in which the horse came off best. A good horse-
master never forces a horse to do anything until he has
first ascertained that the animal can do it and only
refuses wilfully, and even then he will never encourage
a fight unless he is absolutely sure that he, and not the
horse, will win.

THE TEETH.

1. AS A GUIDE TO AGE.

Although there are other methods of arriving at the
age of a horse, the surest is by an examination of the
incisors of the lower jaw, the appearance of which
undergoes certain changes year by year, so that a
moderate amount of experience should enable any in-
telligent person to tell how old a horse is, with certainty,
up to nine or ten years, after w^iich it is much more
difficult.

For the sake of brevity, I do not propose to deal with
the growth and development of the milk teeth and their
subsequent gradual replacement by the permanent ones,
but will at once proceed to indicate the changes which
take place in the latter from the time the last of the
milk teeth is cast or shed, which is usually when the
animal is about four and a half years old.

Incidentally it may be remarked that the age of all
thoroughbreds is considered to date from the 1st of
January, it being the custom among breeders to arrange
so that the mares foal as early in that month as possible.

9^ Horses and Horsemastership.

and consequently the month of the thoroughbred animal
is, as a rule, much more forward than that of the coarser
bred of the same year ; for the farmers and other breeders
of ordinary stock quite naturally prefer their mares to
foal in the summer months when pasture is plentiful.

It is at five years old that the horse gets his "' full"
mouth, and yet on examination it will be observed that
the two corner teeth are apparentlv quite hollow — mere
shells, in fact. Before these teeth arrive at the level of
the four centre ones (the horse has, of course, twelve
incisors, six in each jaw) the horse is described as
" rising five ; "' when thev are level with the others he is
described as ''five off." During the ensuing year the
hollow is gradually filled up, and by the time the horse
is six vears old this process is complete, and he mav be
said to possess a "" complete" mouth. It is from this
period that we rely upon the " marks" on the tables, or
biting surface, and the shape of the teeth as a guide.

Now the substance of which the "' marks" is composed
begins to wear awav from six years old, and by the time
the horse is seven it will have almost disappeared from
the two centre teeth, and it will have commenced to
^vear in those on either side of them, until at eight only
those in the corner teeth will be left. Tlie ensuing year
witnesses the disappearance of the "" marks" from the
corner teeth, so that bv the time nine vears is reached

Horses and Horsemastership. 99

they, too, have vanished, and the horse is commonly
described as '' past mark of mouth," which simply means
that the black marks are no longer in evidence.

But during these years (and, indeed, on to the end
of life) the shape of the teeth has also been altering, and
consequently^ the expert does not rely solely upon the
^'marks'' to guide him. For instance, at five years old
an examination of the closed mouth will show that
although all the incisors are apparently in contact, yet
the corner teeth are not yet fully in wear. The tables
or biting surface of each tooth (excejDting the corner
ones) is distinctly oval in shape, and they are becoming
so.

At six it will be observed that the corner incisors of
the upper jaw have become indented owing to the fact
that the biting surfaces have not hitherto entirely covered
those of the lower jaw, and the resultant unequal wear.
The oval shape of the tables has become less elongated.

At seven the indentation of the upper corner incisors
has become mere pronounced, and the oval shape of
those we have had under observation less distinctly so

At eight the two centre incisors of the lower jaw have
become more circular, while those on either side are
distinctly oval. It is at this age that the closed mouth
reveals the fact that the incisors are beginning to incline
outwards, so to speak : in other words, the regular semi-

Horses and Horsemastership.

circular aspect which the mouth hitherto presented is
beiug lost through the teeth becoming oblique instead
of vertical.

At nine only the corner teeth retain the distinctly
oval shape of the biting surface ; but the process of
change goes on until eleven years is reached, when they,
too, have become quite circular. As the horse gro\\^
older the circular shape of the teeth gradually changes
to a triangular one, the two centre incisors first becom-
ing pronouncedly so, then the teeth on either side of
them, and lastly (as they were to change from ov£ to
circular) the corner teeth. Each succeeding year sees
the teeth becoming more oblique, until in extreme old
age those in the lower jaw are almost horizontal.

I have not hitherto mentioned the tusks which appear
in the interdental space of every horse's mouth, mid-
way between the incisors and the grinders, at about four
years old. and reach full development at five and a half.
They very occasionally occur in mares, and their use is
not apparent. The tusk is a fang-shaped tooth, and
there is this peculiarity about it : it becomes blunter
and rounder everv year from the time the horse reaches
the age of seven, so that in old animals it will be worn
down to a level with the gums. Tlie appearance of the
tusks, therefore, forms valuable corroborative evidence
in estimating the age of a horse.

Horses and Horsemastership. loi

2. CARIES, IRREGULARITIES, &c.

Diseases of the teeth are fortunately not of common
occurrence, but, owing to carelessness, the presence of
small stones, and the like, in the corn does occasionally
give rise to injuries, resulting in decayed teeth. It is
therefore desirable to examine the teeth at intervals,
and if a bad one is discovered to have it extracted. The
presence of caries is usually indicated by toothache,
evidence of which is dribbling, foetid breath, and hanging
the head to one side, as w^ell as reluctance to feed and
"q bidding" (i.e., rejecting partly masticated food, instead
of swallowing it). '" Quidding" is also practised when
the edges of the grinders or molar teeth have become so
sharp and irregular as to wound the tongue or the
cheeks. Tlie presence of whole oats in the faeces also
points to the fact that the animal is not able to use his
teeth properly. By withdrawing the tongue (p. 72)
the sharp edges of the teeth can be felt with the hand,
and abrasions both on the cheek and the tongue itself
may be observed. Tlie services of a veterinary surgeon
should be requisitioned without delay ; pending his
arrival, the animal should be fed on soft food.

Chaptee XV.

STABLE MANAGEMENT.

As Yeomanry we have not very much to do with ordi-
nary stables. The majority of the regiments, of course,
go under canvas for their annual training, and conse-
quentlv the horses are picketed in the open. I shall
therefore dismiss ordinary stables from our consideration
with these few remarks : So long as there is freedom
from draught and damp you cannot have too much fresh
air and light. In England, and especially in London,
stables are generally kept too warm in winter, regardless
of the fact that the warmer the stable the more likeli-
hood there is of the horses catching cold. Changes m
the seasons are best met by changes in the horse's
clothing, and good, warm blankets are, as a rule, prefer-
able to the shaped rugs. The mangers should be kept
scrupulously clean, and the bedding should be taken out
every morning, the stall or box thoroughly swept, and
at least once a week flushed with plenty of water to which
some well-known disinfectant has been added, and under
no circumstances should the drains be allowed to become
foul or choked.

Horses and Horsemastership, 103

As a rule, on arrival in camp the built-up rope is
already in position, so the first thing to be done is to get
your horse watered, and unless he is in a muck sweat
the sooner the better. Before watering always loosen
the girths and remove the bit. In picketing your horse
be careful to see that when the horse is standing natur-
ally the head-rope is at right angles with the built-up
rope and without any slack. The heel strap should be
properly fitted above the fetlock joint, and so that it
cannot by any chance slip down over it. It should not,
of course, be so tight as to interfere with the circulation.
If there are not sufficient holes in the strap to enable
you to fit it as directed, have more punched at once,
otherwise it's odds on your horse getting cut heels. The
heel-rope should have very little, if any, slack, but it
should not be drawn taut. All the mischief of cut heels
one sees is caused mainly through neglect of the simple
precautions I have mentioned, and troop sergeants
should personally see that the horses in their respective
troops are at all times properly picketed. It is desirable
to change the heel strap from one leg to the other.*

If your horse has come in hot don't remove the saddle
until he has quite cooled. If by any chance it becomes

* In my regiment we have lone since given up using the built-up rope and
heel-rope, and the horses are tethered to a picketing-rope instead. Our experience
has fully justified the change. The picketing-rope holds better ; the horses
Ptand much quieter, and despite the fact that their heels are free, our
"casualties" in the lines have been far fewer.

I04 Horses and Horsemastership.

imperative that you should, thoroughly dry his back
and give it a good hand -rubbing.

1. GROOMING.

Tliis should always be done in fatigue dress, and the
'"tools" required by each man are a curry comb, mane
comb, dandy brush, body brush, sponge, hoofpick, and
a stable rubber; one scraper per section is desirable.

Whenever your horse is at all hot, the first thing to
be done after watering is to get your rubber and
thoroughly drv the ears and throat. If you allow him
to stand about without this preliminary attention you
wall notice that as he cools the sweat becomes cold and
clammy, and this is apt to give him a chill. Feel his
ears, and if they are cold pull them with your hands
until the circulation has been revived. Most horses
greatly appreciate this, and will hold do\\Ti their heads
as though to facilitate the operation. Hand-rubbing is
also an excellent method of drying the throat. Neglect
of this precaution may cause sore throat and cough.
Some horses are what is known as "bad driers," i.e.,
after being to all outward appearance thoroughly dried
they break out into a sweat again. This is usually
owing to the animal being out of condition, but with
some it is chronic, and the only way in such a case is to
walk him about until he cools down naturallv. - Horses

Horses and Horsemastership.

which break out in this way are, of course, more liable
to catch cold than others, and require more careful
watching.

Now as to the ordinary process of grooming. Get
your curry comb (be careful there are no jagged places
in it) and go lightlv over the horse's body, neck, and
legs as far as the knees and hocks. This has the double
effect of stimulating the skin and " raising" the dandruff.
In using the curry comb for this purpose take hold of
the back of it in the full of the hand, with the handle
sticking out between the thumb and forefinger, and work
it in a circular fashion, only raising it from the skin
occasionally to knock out the dandruff. Be careful not
to scrape the horse. This operation should be finished
in five minutes. Now get your dandy brush and literally
sweep out as much of the dandruff and other dirt as
possible, beginning on the neck and finishing at the
hoofs. Don't neglect the belly or the inside of the legs.
Should the horse be very ticklish — and many are —
•during this last part of the performance, you will find
it a good plan to lay firm hold of his tail with one hand.
This seems to allay the irritation a great deal. If any
TQud has accumulated right between his legs you can best
remove it by gentle rubbing with the palm of the hand.

Before replacing the dandy with the body brush give
jiis face and head a good doing. Now take your body

brush in one hand and the curry comb by the handle in
the other ; stand well away from the horse, and, be-
ginning at the neck, brush him well over, leaning heavily
on the brush, and even,- now and then drawing it along
the curry comb ; this has the effect of ridding the brush
of the dandruff which it accumulates. The body brush
is practically the polishing brush. Again brush the head
last. Now pick up your dandy once more and thoroughly
bnish out the mane and tail, parting the hair afresh
frequently. The mane ma}- be freely combed, but too
much combing tends to spoil the tail. Now get your
sponge, and v.-ith clean water sponge out the eyes,
nostrils, and dock in order named. The sponge should
be well rinsed after each operation, and should not be
used too wet. Last of all wash his hoofs thoroughly,
both the outsides and soles. All the legs should be lifted
from the near side. Horses soon get used to and like
their feet washed.

If a horse is ver}- scruffy, I have found it useful to
wet the body brush with a mixture of paraffin oil and
water (1 part in 2). and give his skin a good dressing
with it. This is also a useful wash for the mane and
tail, and it has the effect of keeping flies off. On no
account use undiluted paraffin. If a horse has white
heels wash with a little soap and water occasionally, but
never leave the heels to drv of themselves. Drv them

Horses and Horsemastership. ^°7

thoroughly with the rubber. A little oil applied to the
hoofs adds greatly to a horse's appearance, and the mane
and tail are improved by being brushed over with a
damp brush as a finishing touch.

There is one point I wish to lay some stress upon,
because Yeomanry are inclined to be too casual about it,
and that is the appearance of the horse lines. I like to
see uniformity in all things connected with soldiering,
for there is nothing which "' gives the show away" and
creates a bad impression so readily as slovenliness. In
fine weather the horse rugs, either when removed for
the purpose of the morning grooming or any other pur-
pose, should always be laid out flat on the ground, with
the inside exposed to the air. I consider they are best
placed between the horse lines (i.e., behind the horses),
the fronts of the rugs facing inwards ; they should be a
sufficient distance from the horses to avoid the risk of
their being trampled upon either by the men in the
course of their grooming operations or by the horses
themselves. They should be dressed by the right, and
each man should place the feed bag on the ground in
front of the rug, so that when the men detailed to draw
the forage for each troop come along they can collect the
bags without any trouble.

In showery or wet weather the rugs should be folded
down the centre (inside in), and then in three, beginning
at the front, and should be placed in the tents.

io3 Horses and Horsemastership.

I have often been asked my opinion as to the ad-
visability of keeping the rugs on in wet weather. I
consider that so long as the rain has not succeeded in
soaking through the rug it is much better left on. I
observed in the continuous wet weather of the training
season of 1903 that a day and night of heavy raiii was
successfully resisted by most of the rugs in use, and that
though outwardly they presented the appearance of being
soaked through, the side near the horse was quite dry,
and the animal felt comfortable and warm enough. T
am of opinion that so long as the horse's body feels warm
the rugs are best kept on, but if on passing the hand
between the rug and the body the horse is found to be
cold, take it off at once, and in the absence of a dry rug
^ive him some exercise to re-establish the normal warmth,
and let him stand without the rug until you can get it
dried. If a second and dry rug can be obtained as soon
as you have got the horse warm put it on beneath the
wet one. Always remember that whenever 3'ou find
your horse cold hand-rubbing of the extremities and
pulling the ears should be resorted to at once.

2. FORAGE.

The quality of the forage is a matter of the utmost
importance. Half the ills horseflesh is heir to may be
traced to bad food, and it is therefore necessary to know
how to tell good corn and hay, (ire, from bad.

Horses and Horsemastership, 1^9

The staple food is, of course, oats, and I know of
nothing to which the saying " There are good and bad
of all sorts" applies more aptly. Between very good and
ver\^ bad oats there is such a palpable difference that
the veriest novice should not be deceived ; but very good
oats rarely fall to the lot of a troop horse, so that we
shall have to learn the more difficult task of being able
to differentiate between bad oats and the varying degrees
of middling ones.

The standard measure of oats is the bushel, and a
sack should contain four bushels. A bushel of very
good oats should weigh about 44 lbs. ; really good oats,
42 lbs. ; and what one may call good, everyday oats,
40 lbs. The average quality, however, is rarely over
38 lbs., and if the oats are clean (i.e., free from grit,
lumps of hard clay, seeds, or other kinds of grain), and
are otherwise of decent class, the horse wont fare badly
on 38-lb. cats.

One of the first things, therefore, which you have to
note is if the oats are clean. They should be quite
hard, and if bitten in two should split right across; the
taste should be somewhat sweet and floury; there should
be practically no smell beyond that of a slight suspicion
of earthiness. An open handful should feel weighty,
and thev should present a compact, short appearance,
and be ur.iform in size.

Horses and Horsemastership.

New oats are usually much softer than old ; the husk
is far brighter, the taste more juicy, and the floury
flavour more pronounced ; the smell is distinctly earthy.
If you strip a new oat you'll find it covered with a
quantity of silver-coloured, tiny hairs. The "" beard"
of the husk is usually longer in new oats than in old.

Now as to defects : Dirtiness is, of course, serious, but
on that account alone oats otherwise of fair quality need
not be absolutely condemned, but they should be care-
fully sifted and screened before being used. Mustiness
and mouldiness, which are but the first and last stages
of decomposition, can be easily detected by the smell;
oats in such a state are quite unfit for food, and should
be condemned at once. Oats will sometimes start
sprouting if they have been exposed to damp and slight
heat. This, of course, differs a great deal from mould,
which is the process of decay, but nevertheless it is a
condition which is not calculated to benefit the horse.

A trick of the trade is to kiln dry damp, or soft, oats.
It may be detected by the smell, taste, and appearance
of the oats. The smell and the taste is best learnt by
putting a few damp oats in a dry saucepan and holding
it over a fire until the oats have become quite a
brownish-red colour ; when cold you can educate both
your nose and your palate. This colour the trickster
gets rid of by fumigation, but to the experienced eye a

Horses and Horsemastership, m

bleached appearance always remains, and. if fumigated
oats are rubbed in the hands they will give off a slight
smell of sulphur gas.

Oats are said to be " foxy"' when as a result of being-
kept in bulk they generate heat, turn a distinct reddish
colour, taste bitter, and smell sour. They are very
injurious, and affect the kidneys in a marked degree.

Beans, peas, and maize (otherwise known as India
<?orn or mealies) are frequently used either with or as a
temporary substitute for oats. In the South African
campaign maize was very largely used.

Good beans are somewhat hard, pleasant to the smell,
and should be plump and round. A bushel should weigh
60 lbs. or more.

It is the ordinary field pea that is used for horses.
Peas contain a large percentage of nitrogenous material.

There are two kinds of maize, the flat or American,
and the round or Plate.

Beans, peas, and maize are far less susceptible to
atmospheric and other causes of depreciation in quality
than are oats.

Bran should be coarse — the coarser the better.
When rubbed in the hands it should whiten them. Ir
should have a pleasant smell. Bad bran is small and
dustv, and has a sour, fustv smell.

112 Horses and Horsemastership.

HAY. — As with corn, so with hay, cleanness is one>
of the first points to consider. Tlie greater the variety
both of grasses and herbage of which the hay is made
the better.

Tlie best hay is that known as upland hay, and
possesses a peculiar fragrance which the perfume makers-
have endeavoured with some success to reproduce. If'
you chew a little the taste is agreeable. In appearance
it should be fresh and of a distinctly green, modified
with yellow, colour. This latter, however, greatly
depends upon the manner in w^hich the hay was saved.
It is prima facie evidence of the hay being good if it
contains plenty of well-preserved buttercups and clover
flowers. In average years hay should be saved about
mid- July, when the grasses are in full flower ; many
farmers, however, prefer not to mow before the grasses-
are starting to seed.

Bad and inferior hay may contain dust and weeds,
have practically no smell, and a disagreeable, pungent
taste.

A truss of old hay weighs 56 lbs., and a load con-
sists of 36 trusses or 18 cwt. New hay is not good to
feed before October.

STRAW. — Wheat straw is better for bedding than
oat straw, because horses are not so likely to eat it. A
truss weighs 36 lbs. There are 36 trusses to the load,
or 11 cwt. 2 qrs. 8 lbs.

Horses and Horsemastership, 113

3. FEEDING.

There are two important matters in this connection
which I desire to firmly impress upon my readers : (1)
Never feed a horse immediately before working him,
and (2) never water a horse immediately after feeding
him. A horse should have finished his feed a clear hour
before he starts work ; otherwise it is better, especially
where fast work has to be done, to let him go out on a
half-feed. You should never w^ater after feeding, be-
cause by reason of the water having to pass through the
stomach and the small intestines to reach what is known
as the coecum, its destination (wiiich is one of the large
lower intestines), there is always the risk of some of the
undigested corn being washed into the small intestines,
and consequently of colic or trouble of a kindred nature
being started.

The stomach of the horse is, considering the size of
the animal, comparatively small, a fact which points to
the necessity of frequent feeding, but it is generally
agreed that three times a day is quite often enough to
feed to keep a horse in good health. In barracks a
troop horse's ration per day consists of 10 lbs. com,
12 lbs. hay, and 8 lbs. straw. The corn is divided into
three equal feeds, the hay into two of about 4 lbs. and
8 lbs. respectively (the larger quantity being given at
night), and the straw is, of course, used for bedding.

114 Horses and Horsemastership,

Regularity is desirable, and on no account should
gi'ooming operations he carried on during the time the
horse is feeding. How would we like to be similarly-
treated? Only good, sound, and clean food should be
given. As a rule, a horse doesn't feed well immediately
he returns from an exhausting day's work, and it is an
excellent plan to offer him, under such circumstances,
instead of plain water, a pail of water into which a
double handful or two of oatmeal has been mixed.
When he has been groomed and made comfortable he
will be ready for his usual meal.

At least once a week a horse should have a bran mash,
and occasionally a linseed mash. If Sunday is a day of
rest, then Saturday night is a favourable opportunity
for giving this change.

Rock salt should always be get-at-able. A horse
enjoys nothing better, and it is very necessary. Ordinary
salt may be occasionallv used as a substitute, or the hay
or com sprinkled with brine.

4. WATERING.

I have already stated that unless a horse is in a muck
sweat he may always be led to water on his returning
from work. I have always found it answer well to
offer water before each meal., i.e., three times a day,
as well as on coming in. If the horse doesn't want it

Horses and Horsemastership, 115

he'll refuse to drink. If lie drinks, let him have his fill.
In very cold weather it is desirable to put about a pint
of boiling water into the pail to take the ice-cold off.
Some grooms have a habit of drawing the water and
allowing it to stand in the pails in the stables until
required. This is a senseless trick.

5. CLIPPING.

It is customary to clip the coat in the early autumn,
and there can be no doubt that in the case of underbred
animals the practice has much to commend it, if for no
other reason than because of the risk of the horse not
being thoroughly dried after a hard day's work and the
accompanying heavy sweating. A horse should always
have an extra rug on him in the stables after he has
been clipped, and especial care should be taken to
prevent him standing about in the cold or wet without
clothing.

Chapter XVI.

SADDLERY-FITTING, CLEANING,
AND CARE OF.

This is a matter which the ordinary yeoman is not
usually properly instructed in, and as the best groomed
horse will present but a shabby-genteel sort of appear-
ance unless his saddlery is nicely kept and properly put
on, the buckles polished, and the steels free from rust
(I personally like to see them bright and well burnished),
I hope that what I have to say may lead to a general
improvement in this direction.

First, then, with regard to the fitting of the various
articles :

SADDLING.

1. Tlie saddle should be placed in the middle of the
horse's back; the front of it about the breadth of the
hand behind the play of the shoulder.

2. Tlie numnah should be raised well into the fork
over the withers by putting the arm under it.

3. The girth should admit a finger between it and the
horse's belly. In saddling a horse the girth must be

Horses and Horsemastership. n/

tightened gradually, and not with violence. It is re-
commended that the girths of all except young and
growing horses should be fitted so as to be worn in the
second or third hole from the free end of the girth strap.

4. Tlie surcingle should lie flat over, and not tighter
than the girth.

5. The breastplate should be so fitted that the upper
edges of the rosette or leather is the breadth of three
fingers above the sharp breast-bone. It should admit
the breadth of the hand between it and the flat of the
shoulder, and also between the martingale (when used)
and the horse's chest.

6. Rifle Bucket. — The attachment straps are looped
round the rear iron stay on the off side; both are then
buckled to the bucket, and adjusted at such a length
that the muzzle of the rifle is rather lower than the
man's shoulder. The stay strap is passed through the
surcingle at right angles to the bucket.

7. The blanket can be folded in several ways. With
a horse of normal shape and condition the following
method is recommended : — The blanket is folded length-
ways in three equal folds, one end is then turned over
24 inches, the other is turned into the pocket formed by
the folds ; the blanket thus folded is placed on the horse's
back with the thick part near the withers. Size when
folded, 2 feet by 1 foot 8 inches ; when unfolded, 5 feet

ii8 Horses and Horsemastership,

5 inches by 4 feet 8 inches. The folding of the blanket
mav be modified to suit horses of peculiar conformation,
and to meet alteration in shape consequent upon falling
away in condition, or from other causes.

The foregoing paragraphs, 5 and 6, refer to the
regulation cavalr\- pattern saddle. The same principles,
however, hold good with other patterns of saddlery.

BRIDLING.

1 . Tlie bridoon should touch the corners of the mouth,
but should hanor low enou2:h not to wrinkle them.

2. The bit should be placed in the mouth so that the
mouthpiece is 1 inch above the lower tusk of a horse
and 2 inches above the corner tooth of a mare. This
can onlv be laid down as a general rule, however, as so
much depends on the shape and sensitiveness of the
horse's mouth and on his temper.

3. The curb should be laid flat and smooth under the
jaw, and should admit two fingers easily between it and
the jawbone.

4. Tlie headstall should be parallel to and behind the
cheekbone .

5. The noseband should be the breadth of two fingers
below the cheekbone, and should admit two fingers
between it and the nose.

Horses and Horsemastership, 119

6. The throat lash should admit two fingers between
it and the horse's jaw.

7. The bridoon rein should be of such a length that,
when held by the middle, in the full of the left hand,
with a light feeling of the horse's mouth, it will touch
the rider's waist.

METHOD OF CARRYING ARTICLES ON THE
HORSE.

Cloak or great-coat, rolled 26 inches long, behind the
saddle.

Saddle blanket, under saddle.

Nose-bag (when empty), on the shoe-case, fastened to
the shoe-case strap. When oats are carried the strap of
the nose-bag must be fastened to the back arch of the
saddle.

Mess-tin, fastened by the centre cloak-strap on the off
wallet.

Shoe-case, on near side of saddle.

Hoof-picker, on shoe-case strap.

At the discretion of the commanding officer picketing
gear may be carried in whole or part in the vehicles of
regimental transport.

I strongly recommend my readers to master the above
details so as to be able to promptly answer any questions
that mav be asked. The easiest and therefore the

t2o Horses and Horsemastership,

quickest way is to get a friend who knows to stand by
while you are saddling up and correct your errors, you
yourself making the necessary alterations under his
guidance.

It will often be found that some of the straps cannot
be properly adjusted for want of sufficient holes. The
remedy is, of course, to punch some more. A proper
punch should be kept in every troop.

CLEANING, &c.

If the dav has been a long one, or from one
cause or another, such as rain or mud. the steels
have become very dirty, place them in a pail
of water and let them remain there until you
have finished cleaning the saddlery. This will have
the effect of preventing any rust from hardening and of
moistening the saliva which usually adheres to the bits.
To clean them, take some silver sand in the palm of
your right hand and rub it thoroughly over the steels.
In a very short space of time you'll find all the rust and
dirt disappear. Keep at it until it does, and don't
neglect the corners. Now place the steels in the w^ater
again for a few minutes to remove any sand which may
have clung to them, then take them out and dry
thoroughly with the stable rubber or any soft rags kept
for the purpose.

Horses and Horsemastership, 121

If you are keen on looking smart you can spend a
quarter of an hour or so burnishing; if not, smear the
steels over lightly with vaseline.

In wet weather it's waste of time and energy to
burnish, and the most exacting officer would hardly find
fault with you for parading with your " steels in oil,"
but dirt or rust is unpardonable.

As to the saddlery : I have already stated that the
saddle should be allowed to remain on the horse's back
until he has quite cooled, but on its being removed the
leather padding should be sponged over, so as to remove
the sweat and dandruff. The saddle should then be
placed on end to dry and air, and the numnah, or
blanket, should be exposed for the same purpose, and
when dry thoroughly brushed.

Meantime sponge over such parts of the "' harness" as
may have come in contact with the horse's body or be
splashed with mud. The sponge should not be used too
wet. Having removed all dirt, squeeze the sponge as
dry as possible, and soap it well with some good, plain
yellow or ordinary saddle soap, which should be well
rubbed into the leather. The effect is to keep it pliable
and soft, for once leather is permitted to get dry and
hard it perishes and cracks, and becomes unreliable.

The billets, or bit pieces of the reins, and the stirrup
leathers should receive particular attention.

122 Horses and Horsemastership,

As soon as the soap has been absorbed, polish lightly
with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

Saddlery should never be stored without first receiving-
a thorough dressing of palm oil or dubbing. I person-
allv prefer the former, as dubbing darkens the leather
too much, for which reason it is an excellent thing to
use for toning downi new saddler}^. Either may be
purchased at any tallow-chandlers".

Avoid drying leather by artificial heat ; avoid soakins:
it ; and, above all, avoid putting it away dirty or allow-
ing it to become hard.

the re-printing of this work ; its style is excellent. Some of the Author's ideas, may,
since its first publication (1733) have been controverted, or become obsolete, through
the benefits of modern experience ; but good sense, combined with practical know-
ledge and a playful fancy, are apparent in every subject which the author touches on,
and we candidly confess our belief that few modern volumes will afford more pleasure."
