meal, along with hay. This quantity for a 

 medium sized horse in active work. 



Beans. 



These should always be given bruised — 



not merely split. For putting horses into 

 good hard running condition, this food, 

 added to others, cannot be surpassed. 

 Two or three pounds per day will be 

 about the right quantity to give. 



There is more nitrogenous, but less 

 starchy, material in beans than peas. 



Beans are particularly valuable for horses 

 liable to scour after undergoing exertion, 

 owing to the ' binding ' nature of them. 

 Sometimes beans are given ' boiled ' along 

 with barley, but preferably mixed with 

 oats, bran and chaff. 



Peas. 



Crushed and mixed with other fodder.
