 made to improve if driven by an experienced coachman. 

 Flashy going horses, with extra high action, are not 

 adapted for hard work or rough roads. They tire sooner 

 than i>lain goers. To those persons who ovm and drive 

 high steppers I advise them to work them as little as 

 possible on the pavements and drive them moderately 

 on the road. Never drive them at top speed, but let 

 them go a little within themselves, the principal thing 

 being to keep them in good condition. High feeding 

 and good care is the mainspring from which they obtain 

 the courage and good spirits that tends more than any- 

 thing else to make them step.
