CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE STALLION. 163 



GROOMING. 



Use an old, dull currycomb, a root or broom brush, and a 

 bristle brush, followed by flannel cloth ; these are all the tools 

 necessary in cleaning and polishing his coat, and they should be 

 used in the order named, and used every day. 



While the stallion should not be pampered and over-fed, he 

 should be kept as clean as possible, as cleanliness in animals is 

 of importance, even as it is in man, and we all are taught in the 

 latter case, " cleanliness is next to godliness."
