TRAINING! YEAULINGS. 229 



yearlings ought to take ; or, there may be two of 

 them that may quietly follow each other, putting 

 a steady two or three year old colt in front of 

 them, or a good sort of hack, I care not which, 

 so that the colts in question go content up their 

 gallops, and that, when they have passed the 

 post, they pull up and walk quietly off after- 

 wards. If they should walk contentedly away, 

 after having their occasional or daily gallops, for 

 a few times on one piece of ground, it will be 

 advisable to take them from such ground before 

 they shew symptoms of being alarmed, and then 

 to let them go on with a daily repetition of their 

 exercise on the new ground, being careful to re- 

 move them from this also before they become 

 frightened. 



Considering our yearlings to have been long- 

 enough at walking exercise to have recovered 

 from the effects of their physic, and to have been 

 sufficiently long, also, at galloping exercise to 

 have got pretty clear in their wind, we will, in 

 the next chapter, get them through their sweats.
