AGE 337 



Such a horse as this is invaluable to an elderly 

 gentleman, or timid horseman. 



One hor^e may be particularly good at timber, but 

 fail at water, where width and height are combined 

 as a jump. 



There are multifarious sources for the purchase of 

 hunters, but by far the largest proportion are bought 

 and sold at Tattersall's, though of course care must 

 be exercised to note the conditions of sale, as all 

 horse repositories — no matter whether in London 

 or in the provinces — are filled with " all sorts and 

 conditions " of animals. It must also be borne in 

 mind that a steady and brilliant hunter is an extremely 

 scarce commodity, and will always command a ready 

 sale, either in or out of season.
