CHAPTER XVI 



MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS, THE OUTCOME OF 

 THE EXPERIENCE OF THE CAMPAIGN 



In this chapter we have merely jotted down a few 

 things which experience has shown may be of use to 

 the young soldier and sportsman. 



Some of these " Regulations" (as we have called 

 them in the heading of the chapter) are simply 

 useful hints, others should be as binding to the 

 soldier and the sportsman as are the paragraphs 

 of the Queen's Regulations and Orders for the 

 Army. 



We will take the things as they might possibly be 

 wanted. 



We wish to have a horse led out and trotted up 

 and down to see if he is sound before we ride him. 

 A horse in high condition frequently " plays the 

 fool " when brought out like this, and sometimes 

 breaks away in doing so, and if for any reason, such 

 as shortness of time, etc., we do not have a bridle 

 put on him, it is well to take the precaution of 

 putting the head-rope across the front of his nose 

 and then out again behind the lower part of the 

 head-piece of the head-collar, as shown in Fig. i of
