GALLOPING EXERCISE. 163 



The next pace to notice is called " three parts 

 speed." This pace horses have to go in finish- 

 ing a certain length of their gallops, at the 

 time the groom may be doing what is usually 

 called a "bit of work" with them. This is also 

 the pace horses go in their brushing gallops, 

 which they take the morning before sweating ; 

 and it is also the pace they have to go in the 

 finishing of a certain portion of the last two or 

 three sweats thay have to take just previous to 

 their running. It is also the pace that some 

 of the horses have occasionally to go in their 

 sweating gallops ; and it is this sort of pace a 

 little increased that they have to go on the first, 

 second, or third day (according to their constitu- 

 tions), previous to their coming out to run. But 

 the different paces, and the lengths that dif- 

 ferent horses will have to go in them, under a 

 variety of circumstances, will be more fully ex- 

 plained in the third Volume.
