1 54 The Compleat Horfeman : or y 



Balls as t>ig as large Wallnuts, with a Quart of 

 White-wine, keeping him afterwards with his Head 

 tied up in the Bridle pretty high, for three Hours, 

 then feed him as before, with Bread, warm Water, 

 and Wheat-fheaves, but moderately of the laft, be- 

 caufe you are not to fatten him, but on the contra- 

 ry, (bydiminifhingand hard'ning his Flefh) to in- 

 crease his Wind and Vigour. 



On the feventh Day air him abroad for the fpace 

 of an Hour juffc after Sun-rifing, and as much at 

 Kight before Sun-fet, fometimes racking or flap- 

 ping, and fometimes galloping him. But if he con- 

 tinue too fat, then do the fame before Sun-rifing 

 and after Sun-fet. Then bringing him back, rub 

 and cover him well, and feed him as before: And 

 thus continue to air and exercife him every Day, 

 giving him every fifth Day his Pound of Butter made 

 up with Garlick into Balls ; and alfo obferving not 

 to air or take him abroad on the Day that he takes 

 his Balls, nor the Day following. 



When he has taken three Dofes of his Garlick- 

 Balls - 7 that is, fifteen Days after you firft began to 

 put him in keeping, you are to exercife him for two 

 Hours in the Morning, and as much at Night, 

 fometimes at full Speed, then at a good Gallop, and 

 afterwards at a Step, that he may recover his Wind : 

 Remembring, as I have already told you, not to 

 air him on the Day he takes his Balls, nor on the 

 Day after: But upon the other Days when you 

 have gallop'd him hard, difinount, and lead him 

 home in your Hand well cover'd ; then rubbing and 

 wiping him all over until he be perfe&ly dry, let him 

 ftand upon his Bridle with his Head tied up for 

 three Hours, then give him his Water, fomewhat 

 more than luke-warm, and feed him as before : And 

 thus you are to order him for a Month, giving him 

 his Garlick-Balls every fifth Day : But on the laft 

 five or fix Days of the Month, you are to run anc} 



gallop,
