CONCLUSION 8i 



taken of the place whence all horses develop- 

 ing sickness at our camp have come. By 

 this means it is hoped that we may get up a 

 ''black list" of dealers to avoid. I have 

 very little doubt but that this sickness can be 

 stopped ; but I fully agree with Major Lindow 

 that the hired horse is our greatest difficulty, 

 and is a difficulty so great that no blame can 

 be attached to anyone in the regiment for 

 the large numbers of our horses absent from 

 parade through preventable sickness. But 

 the men can do much to force the dealers to 

 clean out their stables, and, with all ranks 

 helping, a satisfactory result is assured in 

 the future.
