DISEASES OF THE FEET, ETC. 



89 



Curb is considered an unsoundness, but in buying a horse 

 I would not mind a small curb. True, I would call the 

 attention of the seller to it, and ask an abatement of 

 price in consequence ; but for ordinary work I would not 



do anything for it, if it did not lame him, which it seldom 

 does, only in the case of a race horse : therefore I would 

 risk a curb if I ot something off the price to warrant 

 the risk.
