SOUND AND UNSOUND HORSES 



15.— ANTI = BRACHIAL REGION. 



Seldom anything particular presents 

 itself for decision in relation to sound- 

 ness in this region, unless it be a sprain, 

 etc. 



16.-CARPAL REGION. 



Critical inspection of the knee is 

 always advisable, as bruises and 

 blemishes are so very common here. 



Bring the limb forwards and examine 

 it in a strong light, and if needful 

 with a lens. Manipulate the skin 

 with the fingers. The presence of 

 a cicatrix, or an irregular growth of hair, 

 is indicative of the skin having been 

 broken. White, or different coloured 

 hair, may be the result of superficial 

 abrasion. 



The intending buyer must be notified 

 as to the existence of such, no matter 

 however insignificant.
