i6o EXAMINA TION OF HORSES.

 makes the defect unsoundness in a Court of Law. 

 Should your second paragraph contain a host of adverse 

 conditions, the whole of these put together will not 

 constitute legal unsoundness, if some one of them does 

 not. In such a case you state it as your opinion that the 

 horse is sound. 



Again, should you find anything about the horse which 

 is a legal unsoundness, but which gives rise to no detri- 

 ment, and is not likely to give rise to any detriment, you 

 may state that the horse is i!n your opinion practically 

 sound. 



Finally, let me advise you to use a copying press, and 

 keep copies of your certificates, and never use printed 

 forms.
