148 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 



your horse a walk in the dew, or if there is a paddock handy, 

 turn him out for an hour in it and let him roll or do what he 

 likes, then take him in and brush him out lightly, in fact, 

 don't do much of anything with him, let him alone to rest out. 

 Towards night it would be well to walk him out again a little 

 while, and let him have a few bites of grass. Some horses 

 will rest out in one day, and others it takes more. I never 

 put a harness on my horse the next day after a race, and 

 sometimes not for three or four days. It all depends on 

 how he acts and how he feels.
