HINTS ON BUYING. 145 



Cart horses should be tried in harness, up hill 

 and down dale, in and out of traf&c ; hunters and 

 hacks ridden and jumped ; and ponies for children 

 and others of nervous temperament require par- 

 ticular care in selection. 



If purchasing a brood mare, see that she has 

 no disease likely to be transmitted to the foal.
