SWEATING. 189 



draws him out fine ; but with many of the light, 

 high-spirited, over-willing ones, it may often be 

 wholly advantageously omitted. If the neck is 

 a little too fleshy, he should, from the com- 

 mencement, have a couple of head-jhools on at 

 the morning's gallop ; the under one without 

 ears ; but they must be thick indeed to pro- 

 duce any visible effect on this part: the neck 

 will fine a little of itself as the flesh becomes 

 firm. If by nature a large bellied horse, and 

 a little too fat when commencing work, he 

 should always have one set of body-jhools 

 round him at that time. Some horses, how- 

 ever, will carry more flesh about the carcase 

 than others ; and if it is only muscle well con- 

 densed, you perhaps have a trump, and too 

 much sweating, or extra physic, to draw such 

 a belly over fine, will often be only running to 

 certain ruin. Loaded with three complete sets 

 of jhools, a three-mile gallop, with a couple of 

 half-mile spurts in it, is as long, and strong, 

 and heavy a sweat, as the most gluttonous 

 Arab would ever require, if not too rapidly 

 brought forward. Some turfmen always give 

 the exercising gallop in one jhool to every 

 kind of horse : that may do very well in Eng- 

 land, but is not so well suited for India; it is 

 unnecessary to many, and does harm to others.
