Some- Merchants affirm, that there cannot be ^ 

 more noble and divertive fight to a Lover of Horfes, 

 than to Walk into the Failures near Confiamine^le^ a- 

 bout Soyling-time-i where he may fee many hundred 

 gallant Horles tethred^ and every Horie has his At* 

 tendmt or Keefer^ with his little Tent (plac*d near 

 bim) to lie in, that he may look to him, and take 

 care to pnft him to frefli Grafs, as occafion requires. 



The Price of a Turk is commonly One hundred or 

 One hundred and Fifty Pounds a Horfe, and when 

 boughttis difficult to get a Pafs'^ the Grand Segmor 

 being fo very ftrid, that He feldom Tbut upon ex- 

 iraordinary oecafions) permits any of his Horfes to 

 hQexforted\{i% Dominions. But if (when obtained) 

 you travel by Land^ without a Turkov two for your 

 Convoy you will be fure to have them feiz'd on by the 

 way. 1 hen, as in the former, fo here,- you will find 

 the fame difficulties of a hng Journey, ( for you muffc 

 come through Germany^ which is a long way,) aud 

 the fame charges attending it, I mean your Groom^Liid 

 Farrier who mnft be careful that they entruil no 

 Perfons whatfoever with the care ofhim, but them.- 

 lelves, efpecially mfhooing o^hm : For tis the com- 

 mon practice beyond Sea, (as well as here ) where 

 they difcover a fne Horfe, to hire a Farrier to friik^ 

 him, that they may buy him for a Stallion. 



But feme People chufe to buy Horfes at Smyrna \\\ 

 Anatolia^ and from thence^ as liktwife from Conflafi- 

 tinople^ tranf port them to England by Sea ^ which, 

 ifthe Wind ferve rights arrive in England in a month^ 

 though generally the /l/f re W;?j make their Voyages 

 little lefs than a Ouarter of a year. 



The Barb is little inferior to any of the former in 

 heainy, only lie is accounted by our Modern Breeder^ 

 too (lender and Lady-lih^ to breed On : and therefore in 

 the North, at this inltant, they prefer thQ ^fanif,}
