HOW TO MAKE MONEY BY HORSES. 13 



or omnibus horses ; also as hired hacks, such are 

 money-making horses to the farmer or tradesman. 

 Secondly, they may he made to make money in a 

 far more aristocratic way, as race-horses, hunters, 

 harness horses, and even as riding hacks. Their 

 doing so in these latter-mentioned cases, rests on 

 their shewing great superiority in such employ. It 

 also depends ou the judgment shewn in the purchase 

 of them by the owner, and by his management and 

 handling of them afterwards as rider or driver. 



There is another and a very certain way in which 

 horses may be made to pay ; a way in which no great 

 artistic capabilities are required on the part of the 

 owner. This is by purchasing them out of condition, 

 (perhaps I should rather say, out of flesh), and by 

 proper warmth, rest, feeding, and care, putting them 

 into such state as is pleasing to the eye, or at least 

 to most eyes ; this merely requires attention, and a 

 small share of stable knowledge. With a certain 

 description of horse, this may be done out of doors, 

 and then, as might be said, a little stable polishing to 

 finish off with.
