78 HOW TO CHOOSE A HORSE 



These ponies are hardy, good moun- 

 taineers, and frequently stylish and fast. 



Try and buy a four-year-old, brown in 

 colour, and from i i to i^ hands (or for a 

 cob, 14 hands), preferably one that has been 

 broken and driven in town. 



The best method of getting really good 

 specimens is to make application to some 

 of the breeders in Wales, or by advertise- 

 ment in a Welsh daily paper, taking the 

 precaution, of course, not to buy without 

 seeing or appointing some qualified veterinary 

 surgeon to go and inspect the pony, and, if 

 he thinks it likely to suit, to excuiiine it as 

 to soundness. 



The addresses of any veterinary practi- 

 tioners in the locality can be had through 

 the seller, etc.
