HOW TO CHOOSE A HORSE 



CHAPTER 1 



BUYING. 



Buying: at the Public Market. 



In many places weekly or bi-weekly markets 

 are held, in which, in addition to other live 

 stock, horses are exposed for sale, large 

 numbers being purchased through this source. 

 The prices and quality of horses are regu- 

 lated, to a large extent, by the season of the 

 year, so much so that even old, worn-out 

 horses are sometimes sold for money treble 



their value.
