WHILE IN TRAINING. 189 



The proper course to be adopted in watering 

 the gluttonous horses, when they are not in 

 strong work, as when they go out only once a . 

 day, as in spring, in the commencement of their 

 training, is to water them frequently in the 

 course of the day, in the same manner as the 

 delicate flighty horses are watered ; only with 

 this difference, that, whatever quantity is to be 

 given the former at one time, the latter are to 

 be made to drink it at twice, by pulling up their 

 heads, and letting them wash their mouths, and 

 then allowing them to take the remainder. By 

 watering those horses in this way, they will be- 

 come more satisfied with the portion of water 

 that may be allowed them each day, than they 

 would be were they permitted greedily to swal- 

 low their different quantities of water at one 

 time, either out of the troughs in the yard, or 

 out of the buckets in the stable. 



In summer time, when the horses go out twice 

 a day, those among them that are great drinkers, 

 if the weather is very hot, should be indulged a 

 little, by allowing them to take a few go-downs 

 of water more at each time, merely to prevent 

 them from becoming so thirsty, as to take them 

 off* their usual way of feeding.
