APPENDIX. 113 



But this bridle is at all times insecure. Much 

 might be said about the use of the snaffle 

 bridle in riding schools, and breaking young 

 horses, etc., but it is unnecessary in this work. 



Never buy a horse, even of an acquaintance, 

 without a Warranty. 



The frequent disputes, and the frequent 

 cheating which take place in the sale and pur- 

 chase of horses— even among the best judges 

 — prove the necessity of a written warranty. 

 If this is expressed in ambiguous, or too gene- 

 ral terms, it may be evaded. The following is 

 a safe and convenient form, 



FORM OF DECLARATION AND WARRANTY. 



/ declare, and hereby warrant, that the 

 brown horse [describing the colour, marks, sex, 

 age, height, etc., etc.'] purchased this 

 day of 1840, at of 



me, by Mr. of 



Street. London, and delivered to him herewith.
