CHAPTER I. 

 Food, Grooming, Water, Clipping, Etc. 



THE term stable management includes a 

 variety of subjects connected with the man- 

 agement of horses, to discuss all of which in a 

 detailed manner would be impossible. 



The most important part of stable management 

 consists in the proper feeding and watering of 

 horses. In fixing the rations the quantity and kind 

 of work must be considered. It will not do to feed 

 all horses alike ; a difiference in the feeding must be 

 made between horses doing slow work, and those 

 which have to perform their tasks at a fast pace.
