     We    will   now    suppose    the  purchaser     has   found    a  horse   which    he 

admires�撮�1�А�the purchase is effected�察�and he has brought him homehow is 

he to be housed�拭�It is best that the stable should be placed in a quarter of 

the    establishment     where     the   master    will  see   the   horse    as  often   as 

possible。��2�А�It is a good thing also to have his stall so arranged that there 

will be as little risk of the horse's food being stolen from the manger�察�as of 

the master's from his larder or store´ closet。 To neglect a detail of this kind 

is surely to neglect oneself�察�since in the hour of danger�察�it is certain�察�the 

owner   has   to   consign   himself�察  �life   and   limb�察  �to   the   safe   keeping   of   his 

horse。 

     ��1�А�Lit。 ;To proceed�此�when you have bought a horse which you admire 

and have brought him home。; 

     ��2�А�i。e。 ;where he will be brought as frequently as possible under the 

master's eye。; Cf。 ;Econ。; xii。 20。 

     Nor is it only to avoid the risk of food being stolen that a secure horse´ 

box    is  desirable�察  �but   for  the  further   reason   that   if  the  horse  takes   to 

scattering     his  food�察  �the  action   is  at  once   detected�察   �and   any   one   who 

observes that happening may take it as a sign and symptom either of too 

much     blood�撮�3�А   �which    calls  for   veterinary   aid�察  �or  of  over´fatigue�察   �for 

which rest is the cure�察�or else that an attack of indigestion��4�А�or some other 

malady is coming on。 And just as with human beings�察�so with the horse�察�all 

diseases are more curable at their commencement��5�А�than after they have 

become chronic�察�or been wrongly treated。��6�А�

     But if food and exercise with a view to strengthening the horse's body 

are matters of prime consideration�察�no less important is it to pay attention 

to the feet。 A stable with a damp and smooth floor will spoil the best hoof 

which nature can   give。��7�А�To prevent the floor being   damp�察�it should   be 

sloped with channels�察�and to avoid smoothness�察�paved with cobble stones 

sunk side by side in the ground and similar in size to the horse's hoofs。��8�А�

A stable floor of this sort is calculated to strengthen the horse's feet by the 

mere   pressure   on   the   part   in   standing。   In   the   next   place   it   will   be   the 

groom's business to lead out the horse somewhere to comb and curry him�察�

and after his morning's feed to unhalter him from the manger�撮�9�А�so that he 

may come to his evening meal with greater relish。 To secure the best type 

of stable´yard�察�and with a view to strengthening the horse's feet�察�I would 

suggest to take and throw down loosely��10�А�four or five waggon loads of 

pebbles�察�each as large as can be grasped in the hand�察�and about a pound in 

weight�察  �the   whole   to   be   fenced   round   with   a   skirting   of   iron   to   prevent 

scattering。   The   mere   standing   on   these   will   come   to   precisely   the   same 

thing   as   if   for   a   certain   portion   of   the   day   the   horse   were�察  �off   and   on�察�

stepping along a stony road�察�whilst being curried or when fidgeted by flies 

he will be forced to use his hoofs just as much as if he were walking。 Nor 

is   it   the   hoofs   merely�察  �but   a   surface   so   strewn   with   stones   will   tend   to 

harden the frog of the foot also。 

     ��7�А�Lit。 ;A damp and smooth floor may be the ruin of a naturally good 

hoof。; It will be understood that the Greeks did not shoe their                       horses。

     But if care is needed to make the hoofs hard�察�similar pains should be 

taken     to  make     the   mouth     and    jaws    soft�察 �and    the   same    means     and 

appliances   which   will   render   a   man's   flesh   and   skin   soft�察  �will   serve   to 

soften and supple a horse's mouth。��11�А�

     It is   the duty  of a  horseman�察 �as we  think�察�to   have his   groom  trained 

thoroughly in all that concerns the treatment of the horse。 In the first place�察�

then�察�the groom should know that he is never to knot the halter��1�А�at the 

point   where   the   headstall   is   attached   to   the   horse's   head。   By   constantly 

rubbing his head against the manger�察�if the halter does not sit quite loose 

about his ears�察�the horse will be constantly injuring himself�撮�2�А�and with 

sores   so   set   up�察  �it   is   inevitable   that   he   should   show   peevishness�察  �while 

being bitted or rubbed down。            ��1�А�Lit。 ;by which the horse is tied to the 

manger;�察 �licol d'ecurie。;

one will make a sore。; 

     It is desirable that the groom should be ordered to carry out the dung 

and litter of the horse to some one place each day。 By so doing�察�he will 

discharge the duty with least trouble to himself�撮�3�А�and at the same time be 

doing the horse a kindness。 

     ��3�А�Al。 ;get rid of the refuse in the easiest way。; 

     The groom should also be instructed to attach the muzzle to the horse's 

mouth�察    �both   when    taking    him   out  to  be   groomed     and   to  the   rolling´ 

ground。��4�А�In   fact   he   should   always   muzzle   him  whenever he takes him 

anywhere       without    the   bit。  The   muzzle�察    �while   it  is  no   hindrance    to 

respiration�察�prevents biting�察�and when attached it serves to rob the horse of 

opportunity for vice。��5�А�

     Again�察�care should be taken to tie the horse up with the halter above 

his head。 A horse's natural instinct�察�in trying to rid himself of anything that 

irritates the face�察�is to toss up his head�察�and by this upward movement�察�if 

so tied�察�he only slackens the chain instead of snapping it。 In rubbing the

with any instrument whatever�察�the hand alone should be used to rub and 

smooth it�察�and in the direction of its natural growth�察�so as to preserve from 

injury that part of the horse's back on which the rider sits。
