Saddle-Galls, Prevention of. 



Leave the saddle on for three-quarters of an hour after 

 dismounting, so as to allow the circulation to become 

 gradually restored. Cooling lotions, or cloths steeped in 

 cold or warm water — cold if applied immediately after the 

 swelling, warm if twelve or more hours have elapsed. 



Massage by gentle stroking of the fingers, or the 

 application of warm linseed-oil or of poultices, may be 

 beneficial. 



It is best to leave off using the saddle until the wound is 

 closed and the swelling gone, and then a smooth piece of 

 waxed linen should be sewn into the parts of the under 

 surface of the flaps which touch the cicatrices.
