92 PHYSICKING 



Monday, — Give four maps, that is, one bazaar 

 seer, of bran mash for his first feed at eight in 

 the morning, and only one pooly of grass after 

 it. Four ditto at one o'clock, and only one 

 pooly of grass after it. Four ditto at evening's 

 feed, and then allow him to eat grass until nine 

 o'clock, when the muzzle is to be put on for 

 the night. Give as much water as he likes to 

 drink, but no more grass than this. He should 

 have an hour and a half of walking exercise, 

 both in the morning and evening, for which he 

 may be ridden ; or if strong, and in good health, 

 may be gently trotted. 



Tuesday, — Exactly the same as Monday, with 

 another bran mash at nine o'clock, before being 

 muzzled. 



Wednesday, — At daybreak let him have the 

 physic, always washing it down with two drachms 

 of common salt in half a pint of warm water, 

 whether it is a ball or a drench ; this facilitates 

 the " working," and may prevent the horse feel- 

 ing sick. Give ^^^ maps of bran mash for his 

 first feed at eight in the morning, but only a 

 mouthful of grass after it. Five ditto at one 

 o'clock, and half a pooly of grass after it. Five 

 ditto at evening's feed, and . one pooly of grass
