the Dung he can conveniently bring away. Or 

 otherwife thruft up into it about the bignefs of a 

 large Hen's Egg of Caftile-Soap, anointed with Oil 

 to make it enter with more eafe , half an hour 

 after which, the Horfe will empty •, fo that ufing 

 this you need not Rake him, becaufe the Soap will 

 do it fufficiently of it felf. Having thus caufed 

 him to empty, place him with his Fore-parts a little 

 lower than his Croup, and thrufting into his Fun- 

 dament a Horn made for that purpofe, open at the 

 fmall end, pour into it by degrees the Clyfter, which 

 mult be Milk-warm, and if it mould flop in the 

 Horn, without pafling down, you are ta make the 

 Horfe move his Tongue, and then ftrike him gent- 

 ly with the palm of your hand upon the Reins, 

 which will make it enter : This done, put him into 

 the Stable again, tied up to the Rack, without 

 moving him afterwards, contrary to the common 

 pra&ice of Farriers, who walk the Horfe while the 

 Clyfter is yet in his Guts. 



It is alfo fit that your Horfe be tied up to the 

 Rack two hours before his Clyfter, and that he eat 

 not until he hath render'd it, or about an hour af- 

 ter he hath taken it. 



They that walk their Horfes after a Clyfter; 

 make them render it too foon, whereas it fhould be 

 retained a reafonable Timer If he could be made 

 to keep it a full hour, it would be fo much the 

 better ; and therefore a large Syringe made on 

 purpofe is better than a Horn, becaufe the Horfe 

 receives it better, without fo much as needing to be 

 taken out of the Stable, and being lefs moved after 

 receiving it, he will have the lefs caufe to render it 

 too foon. It fignifies but little to ftop a Horfe's 

 Fundament with Hay, or to tie down his Dock, to 

 hinder him from rendring it, for none of thefe me- 

 thods will prevent lum from voiding his Clyfter, if 

 he have an inclination, to it.
