CHAPTER II 



ACCESSOEIES 



Q. What are the main requirements in plan- 

 ning a hunting-stable ? 



A. 1. Boxes sufficiently roomy for a tired 

 horse to move about, without being unnecessarily 

 large. 



2. Good drainage. 



3. Ventilation without draughts. 



4. Flooring that will not get slippery. 



5. Windows so arranged that a glare of light is 

 not constantly beating down on the eyes of the 

 inmates. 



6. Walls that do not reflect light. 



7. Well-arranged manger and hay-rack. 



8. Some method for having water continuously 

 available for a horse to drink. 



9. Arrangements for fixed artificial light. 



10. If there is no stall in the stable, some plan 

 for pillar-reins. 



11. If expense need not be considered, a wash- 

 ing-room apart from the stables is a welcome 

 addition to the comfort of the men, and saves 

 labour. 



12. A convenient hay-loft, place for straw, and 

 granary.
