Points of a Good Horse 



The selection of a horse is an undertaking for which the average 

 person has little confidence, and such would doubtless do well to 

 employ a competent horse judge of known integrity. While horse 

 traders have not a very enviable reputation, most of the large and 

 well-known dealers are honest, not only as a matter of principle, but 

 because it is a good business policy. The horse dealer, doing a 

 large and increasing business for a series of years, finds the confi- 

 dence and satisfaction of his customers among the most important 

 of the factors contributing to his success. Many a wealthy person 

 would do far better to entrust his purchase to a reputable dealer 

 than to his coachman or groom, for the latter would be apt to sup- 

 plement the first method by a liberal " rake off " for his personal 

 share of the deal. 



If the selection of a horse or a carriage pair is beyond the powers 

 of the average person, much more is the judging of relative merits 

 and characters of an entire group. Horse judging is indeed expert 

 work, requiring very special training and powers of discernment 

 and its treatment in a sketch of this kind would be presumptuous. 



" Can recommend your Gall Cure. It is as good for man as for beast.
