8o MY horse; my love. 



I have heard and read of many horse lovers in 

 this country v^ho refuse to buy or own animals so 

 shorn. 



" Yes, there are breeders and buyers here who 

 will not have a horse that is docked, and through 

 their efforts the long-tailed saddle-horse is steadily 

 becoming more fashionable, European governments 

 will not buy one that has been docked for cavalry 

 purposes. It is also well known that officers are not 

 allowed to ride them, even if they be private prop- 

 erty, when on military parade." 



That is surely a step in the right direction and 

 ought to be encouraging to the Anglo-maniacs to 

 abolish the abuse also in this country. Let us hope 

 that Dame Fashion will interfere and set her arbi- 

 trary seal of disapproval, on this cruel and ugly cus- 

 tom of equine mayhem !
