38 Roarivg in Horses, 



Taking these figures as an index of the prevalence of 

 Eoaring among horses generally, throughout the United 

 Kingdom, we might hazard the opinion that at least 6 

 per cent, have this infirmity, though they may be more or 

 less serviceable, according to the stage it has reached. 



It is possible that it may be very much higher among the 

 lighter horses — saddle and harness — of the public : as army 

 horses, nearly 6 per cent, of which we may admit are Roarers, 

 are purchased when young, and are carefully attended to, 

 medically and hygienically, during the whole of their 

 service ; they are therefore less exposed to the exciting 

 causes which give rise to Roaring.
