CHAPTER X. 



INJURIES. 

 Collar, Saddle and Girth Galls. 



Injuries beneath the collar, saddle and 

 girth, etc., are of frequent occurrence, and 

 unless the cause be removed, and the sore 

 properly treated, the animal is caused great 

 pain, and permanent damage may be the 

 result. 



Horses in low condition, and of faulty 

 conformation, are predisposed to these 

 injuries, more especially when the collar, 

 saddle, etc., are badly fitting, or their 

 surfaces bearing upon the skin, out of 

 repair.
