r8 now to choose a horse 



well worth the attention of those who have 

 much to do with the buying of horses. 



Many of the best horses are purchased at 

 the Irish and Welsh fairs in an unbroken 

 condition, and after the raw material has 

 passed through the brakesman's hands it 

 frequently emerges from the dealer with a 

 warranty of being handsome, having the 

 best of manners, style, and action. 



To those unacquainted with the handling 

 of horses, we do not recommend the buyer to 

 choose an unbroken animal, because it takes 

 some time to make a horse thoroughly reli- 

 able, even though it be placed in the hands 

 of a professional horse-breaker. 



When choosing a horse at a fair for 

 immediate work, more care is even neces- 

 sary than In the case of selection at a public 

 market.
