ling, driving, and even domestication, are all artificial 

 conditions it cannot well stand." 



But does he not take cold more readily without his 

 winter's coat? 



" On the contrary, a horse with a heavy coat is all 

 the better for being clipped, and is not nearly in so 

 much danger of taking cold. When brought in 

 'sweating' his heavy coat will not dry out readily, 

 and imless 'worked' an hour or so to cool him off, 

 will chill and shiver, even under the blanket, and 

 that dread foe, pneumonia, may follow. A clipped 

 horse is rubbed dry in a few moments, and being 

 wrapped in his warm blanket, he is in a glow very 

 soon. Experience proves that he eats better, feels 

 better, will do more work cheerfully, and will even 

 keep in better condition and sounder health on less 

 food." 



Clipping certainly improves the appearance vastly. 



"No doubt of it, giving the idea of excellent 

 grooming and care, so immediately detected in the 

 horse's coat, and I believe it adds greatly to his phys- 

 ical comfort and well-being."
