BREEDING. 



291 



I like to see a colt, even when a yearling, handled nicely 

 and lightly, and dressed every day of his life by the atten- 

 dant who has the feeding of him. Such a course fits him 

 for breaking-time, and prepares him in great measure 

 for what he has to go through in his training. 



I am an advocate for paying close and vigilant attention 

 to the feet, from the very beginning. I like to see toes 

 nicely shaped by judicious paring, and, if disposed to chip 

 or splinter, provided with suitable tips. 











GOOD FORM.
