paid to them the firft winter, they will no doubs 

 thrive thefucceeding fummer. The following 

 winter they may be kept in the ftable with not 

 more care than other horfes : but you may 

 give them the fame opportunity as they enjoy- 

 ed the firft winter, of going freely in and out. 

 A young horfc treated in this manner will, 

 when two years old, be as fit for work as many 

 by different treatment are when four years old, 

 and from that age will be able to do fomething 

 towards paying for his keep. And if intended 

 for fale, he will certainly fetch a good price; 

 for he will be well grown, adive and full of 

 fpirit. 



We will now confider the difference in point 

 of expence between good and bad keeping, 

 which will nearly make the difference of a good . 

 or a bad horfe. The article of expence will 

 confift chiefly in the corn which I recommend 

 to be allowed him. Reckoning fixty weeks for 

 the two winters, at one quartern of oats per 

 day, the total amount will be twenty-fix bufhels 

 one peck, which, at i6s. per quarter, will be 

 2/. lis. 6d. extra expences for one young 

 horfe — a mere tiiflle when compared with the 



difference
