ROARING 



Roaring is the more aggravated form of 

 whistling, and generally develops from the 

 latter. 



BROKEN WIND 



This is an affection of the lungs, and the 

 horse's expiration is under considerable diffi- 

 culty. It is easily noticeable on watching the 

 flanks. Affections of the wind are due to 

 many causes, i.e. due to breeding from unsound 

 parents, overwork when out of condition, in- 

 discreet feeding, sudden change of diet, badly 

 ventilated stables, the results of chills, influenza, 

 etc., possibly from horses being overbent, 

 climatic conditions : this latter cause alone 

 being beyond human control. 



WHISPING 



Whisping indirectly helps a horse's digestion, 

 and may keep off chills. It is essential for 

 conditioning a horse. It stimulates the skin, 

 invigorates the circulation, and has a healthy 

 effect on the oil-glands. It is a form of 

 massage, and will make the coat glossy and 

 increase the muscle.
